Great idea. Because we all know online petitions work. Particularly to go against the financial sector bankrolling the politicians.
Look up openmedia in Canada.. They had an online petition which made the CRTC (Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission) push back against Bell's wish to make its wholesale resellers (smaller ISPs) apply the same ridiculous caps on their customers. Petitions work, as long as enough people join in.

This one asks for 5000 votes. That's not much.. The open media petition got half a million signatures.
