A bill of impeachment has to be filed in the House of Representatives. The White House has nothing to do with this. This petition is a waste of time. If you're upset, try to convince your Congressman.


I'm convinced that the Whitehouse petitions platform is just a pressure release valve - a way to bleed off frustration so it's not manifested in more politically-weighty ways.


This! Over and over again. Whenever I see one of those petition discussion I am just baffled by the naiveté of people.


At least it might send a message to the White House about this. Although, maybe this one serves that purpose better:

I used to write letters and call up my congressmen. I feel it doesn't have impact that it used to. It seems money talks in todays politics. Donating to EFF will probably be more effective.


Absolutely!

The petition site is just the White House's way of trolling the internet into thinking they care about "internet problems".


If this petition "passes", it will help as one of many arguments to convince your Congressman
