>Should we have some sort of referendum?
Petition has the power of signature. Referendums - power of vote.
You tell me if you shoud. If referendums are legal in the US this could change politics as we know it. Thats why many countries hate them and call them "mob rule", when in fact it is most democratic process available. For example, any State localy could throw a referendum to unsit a corrupt Senator/S.o.S. or any other politician, pass or abolish laws.
