These were real “We The People” Petitions that actually got signatures. “We The People” is Whitehouse.gov's official online petition service. It is America's new home for one-click democracy, where the Obama administration responds to petitions on topics like Postal Service reform.

Although I wasn’t asked to sign any of these petitions, I signed one for today’s gift. It would establish hiring a county administrator and reducing county commissioner positions to part-time, which would save the county a substantial amount of money. If enough signatures are collected, it will be on the May ballot for a vote. Signing this petition will do good things for Klamath County.

In Giving,

Robin
