A petition is a way of getting what you want without protesting. A path to what you care about whether it be gay marriage or anti-abortion or anything else you could think of. You need to show the government what you want and this is one way to.
A petition is when you file for something. If you are petitioning the government, then you are asking them to do something different. Petitions are very important and are absolutely needed. Without them, you would have close to no say in the government. There would be no lobbying.

The petition to …….. What am I petitioning for?
I don’t even know….
The petition to give schools and therefore teachers the bonuses they deserve was over turned by the greedy government officials.

I went from house to house – all of them the same dimensions, same number of feet from sidewalk to artificial green grass to driveway – with my petition to stop their grotesque consumer consumption. And I failed, at each plastic front door.
Stephanie
Something that you sign and never really ever gets read. It just gets counted. A petition is something that should be quite powerful but really I always wonder. Is it powerful? Does anybody actually pay any attention?
I sigh, looking at my blank petition.
Why won’t anyone sign it?
“Because it’s going against school rules,” everyone would say.
I smirk to myself. That’s definitely not the reason, and they know it.
I would like to petition the universe
to return my brother in law to us
to bring him back into
our lives
to stop our broken hearts
to end our sadness
please
honor
our petition –
you took him away too soon
you stole him and left us
empty

I’m going to have everyone sign the petition that says fatties shouldn’t buy sodas in our school. I know it’s racist or whatever. I know that my stupid stepfather was obese and he turned out to be all sorts of creepy. I get how this stuff is supposed to work.
I can’t help it, though. I see pens and I itch to give people opinions.

“Okay,” he said, eyeing me suspiciously. “Just sign this petition and we’re done.”
I gape at him.
Seriously? We went through all that and it could have easily been resolved with THIS? Is he crazy?
Judy Sine
It was no small task. To acquire the entire town’s signature for what was to be the most selfless thing I’d done until then. But I took it upon myself to achieve this goal, for the greater good.
“Who will sign my petition,” she asked softly. No one paid attention to the young girl in the blue dress. Everyone was too busy running for their train. Defeated, she sat on the bench.
Mamu
He started a petition to get the leash law revoked, so his dogs could be free. Of course, he only got dog owners, cat owners were not thrilled with the idea. Who knows, maybe cat owners should start a petition too?
Mamu
I enjoy signing petitions for things that I otherwise probably would not take action on, like the poor polar bears who are dying from various pollutants and the wolves being shot in Alaska. I sign my name, feeling like maybe I’ve done something good.
The petition has been signed. Now will these people follow the rules? I’m not sure. I know them to well and what they are capable of. Time will tell and we will see.

Petitions can be easily faked by people trying to rally up support for a cause. Petitioners on the streets of New York usually petition for a cause, but never cease to ask for money in the end. A ‘small’ contribution of 20$.

Petition here, petition there – pettycoat politics, ruffles and all. IT HELPS! vs. WHO ARE WE KIDDING? The petition is like the cheapest of birthday presents: the voucher. Because we didn’t have time or enough imagination. And because not giving anything at all would be giving up hope.
‘Sign the petition! Sign the petition!’ I screamed to the my fellow on lookers. This needed to be done, without it, everything would be taken away like they don’t mean anything.

In a small, dismal room, Claire tapped out the petition on her grandmother’s typewriter. It was an archaic exercise, one that made her fingers ache from the deliberation of pressing the keys, but conviction carried her through. When she was finished she slid it out and handed it to Steve.
Josey
Start one if you believe in a cause. Don’t think what others may think about it, just do it. Every hero did start small.
Julia
you have to sign a petition if you want to get what you want and get a bunch of other people to get it signed too because if youre the only one who signs a petition it doesnt really mean shit because the whole point is it shows how many people agree with you on a certain cause or topic you want to get done and that it is worth the change for the topic and to get what would benifit a large majority of the people

I petition you to sign my heart with the pen of your love…a true signature…one that will leave a lasting impression. forever….for always…for us.

Rebellion is such an appealing subject to the youth that it doesn’t matter if it’s a cause that’s even worth it. Or that they even believe in that strongly. If they can convince themselves that they care, then the youth will rebel. With petitions. Riots. Fliers or posters. Any way that seems the most fun.
when i think of the word petition, the work majority rule comes to mind.if i want to something done that goes against the viewpoints of society i will petition to get it done. petition is all about democracy, everyone and all the people count.

when i need to get something done that is against the thinkings of today’s society.i petition and hope that people agree with me in the area where i hold such a strong opinion in.

sign to make a statement, sign to be part of something, stand up, stand for a cause, sign just because you have no thoughts about it anyway. Start something.
Corri
The petition was passed around, and all I could do was hope. I hoped that the signatures would not be dismissed, hoped even further that they would not be taken down in note for fear of the consequences that signing held for all these people, people who had placed trust in me to do good where it was so easy to do evil.
Sheri
She always clicked on petition links and then she always hesitated when she needed to provide all her personal information online–how selfish.
People make petitions all the time. I think. I don’t really know what petition fully means. I’m kinda just guessing here. Hope I’m right. People make petitions when they want to change something.

Petition.
I stand up.
I may be wrong, but I may be right.
What I stand for is worth the fight.
Even if I stand for nothing at all.

“You know this isn’t going to end well?”
“Yeah, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“What about a petition?”
“Maggie I love you, erm, where do we start?”
Petitions have the power to influence the political landscape. I believe petitions are under utilized in New Zealand. More petitions people!

The new bypass bridge sounded like a good idea, but Courtney could see that the council really had not thought this through. Her petition to deny the permit wasn’t popular, but she wasn’t going to let the snide remarks of others deter her.
The death threats, however, did come as something of a surprise.
A plea for the government to stop their stupidity and do what they promised to do. A plea for someone to be set free, a plea for something to be saved. Something loads of people sign internationally.
