We shouldn't be petitioning them on little issues they should be begging us for the oppurtunity of control.

Little fact here for those considering themselves valued voters or recognised citizens; we all have a serial number on our birth certificates (getting microchips now shock horror). Go onto the US stock exchange and any given serial number has a valued stock, we're currency.
