In case you were wondering how to change the world by signing petitions, you can try http://www.avaaz.org/en/ for international campaigns
or
http://38degrees.org.uk/ for independent UK based petitions.
The British Government has recently set up
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/
where more than 100,000 signatures results in a debate in parliament which, of course, is guaranteed to change the world
You can create your own petition on
http://www.ipetitions.com/start-petition?q=GoogleEurope&campaign=8&gclid=CLGi2-3isqoCFcFP4Qod8Vzi8g or
http://www.petitiononline.co.uk/create-petition-ads
and
http://www.petitiononline.ie/
The http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/cyclehelmetbill petition must have had some effect in preventing the introduction of a law in Northern Ireland making the wearing of cycle helmets compulsory.
The result of all this petitioning might be to reinvigorate the political process or it may just end up with a lazy, perfidious and fashionable delusion of activism.
Maybe there should be a petition to make petitions matter.
