This makes me wonder how petitions ultimately work. Questions: Is it usual for a petition not to gather enough signatures on the first go-round; do petitions end up in multiple go-rounds; if petitions do have multiple go-rounds, does it detract from how people perceive it, or would they even care, or would a large population insulate people from even being aware of it previously, or if they are, would they assume that it's a petition still in the works as opposed to one that has been resurrected.
In certain instances, I can see presenting an issue in the guise of a petition to merely use it as a vehicle to familiarize people, without the expectation, at least initially, of it being used to a successful end that a petition might be used for.
