Also, having problem getting to the petition server, but sure that is out of your control. Best of Luck with this. It has been all too long a wrong unaddressed!!!
Hi Peter,
That's so those who are not US citizens can sign the petition.

Uuuuuh, Bill. America is nearing a Police State, IMO...but, OK, lets not broadcast that and alienate the members of Congress....but then put 'and NON-U.S. Citizens'. In the height of the Cold War the phrase had NO meaning - only propaganda values - and now it has less than NO MEANING - only 'DEMEANING' to many. So, someone from N. Korea, China, Cuba, Libya etc. can't sign?! Why not, if not. The phrase is an oxymoron. The phrase offended me...and I'm sure it will others....except rightwingers and stuck coldwarriors. However, I don't think they'd be offended or turned off by my alternative[s]. America, IMO, is not a part of the 'free world, so 'the rest' has no meaning...never did....if it did we'll not be fighting to investigate all we investigate....and try to keep afloat as the rich rob the rest of us blind, steal or buy elections, buy Congress and influence, hire mercenaries [including the CIA and all sister agencies], perpetrate wars the American people don't need or want - only the Oligarchs want...etc. :mexican:
