How I wish these online petitions were of more use.  The best they can 
accomplish is to let someone know that MAYBE there is a problem an that 
maybe some people are upset.  "Signatures" are not verifiable so one 
person can sign a hundred times with different names.

If all you can afford to do is sign a petition, send a hand-written 
letter instead.  Your one letter will have a greater impact, because it 
is REAL, than an Internet petition with a thousand "signatures", none of 
which may be valid.

Also, consider this.  If you were a Wyoming State employee, how much 
impact would a possibly bogus signature from an Upper Falls, NY, 
resident on a petition about a problem in say Sheridan, WY, have on your 
actions?  If the same employee got just 10 letters from Sheridan 
residents making the same complaints as in the petition, the chances 
that they'd take action would be considerably higher.  And if the 
letters contained photographs documenting the problems, that would make 
an even bigger difference... especially with a cc to some influential 
state newspapers.
