45-70 your heart is in the right place, but online petitions are even more useless than the paper kind, as they cannot be used for toilet paper by the people they are addressed to, like normal petitions.
I forget how many million people petitioned President Bush to pardon those two border patrol agents that got locked up for shooting it out with a smuggler, but it was into the tens of millions last I saw it. It achieved nothing... the agents are in prison, the smuggler is free and several million dollars richer, and most people have forgotten it even happened.
