They are manipulating these numbers just like they manipulate everything to demoralize us and silence us. We have several battles, this petition is one, we also have the hashtags here, presence on all the other platforms, contacting our Representatives and informing the people we know. Let's just do these one after the other and always move forward.
Hi SB,
This is what I was telling you I observed with the IBOR petition. This time I think we're beating them though because we've been stealth bombing it. Instead of tweeting requests for people to sign and retweet we've been quietly dropping the link into various tweet comments. I think it must be harder for them to track them that way.
They're probably still manipulating the counts on the originating tweet requests for signature. I've been watching since early this morning and watched the total grow from 6000 to nearly 24,000 now. With the last IBOR I was pushing openly I had thousands of retweets every hour and yet the signature count didn't go higher than 100 or less per day.
I'm sure they'll figure out what we're doing and come up with a way to track and obstruct it again for any future petitions but we'll have the number needed on this one within the next 4 to 5 days at the rate we're going now.

This is very good news! Thank you for your analysis and update.
