^^ If there is enough support from an online petition, politicians are going to act on it. As much as I think it is a flawed system, that's exactly how things works.
Take this Langley woman's complain to ban smoking in condo buildings:

it gained traction and now an MLA is presenting it at the BC legislature because some 13k people signed the online petition to support it. I generally do not agree with the proposed condo smoking ban, but the incident shows how our politician works.
I want to look into setting up an online petition for our cause here, but I'm going to need some time to get through stuff first.
