How to Start and File a Petition
Your Constitutional Right



    Let's say that you have a good idea you would like the House of Representatives to consider. Let's say that it's TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESSMEN. The next step is to start a petition. Simply go online to iPetitions.com. In a matter of minutes, using their templates, you can have your petition written and posted on the World Wide Web for the entire country to read and sign. And the service is free!

    [You can also do a petition the old-fashioned way, by going door to door. That hasn’t changed. But posting your petition on the Internet is a much faster way to get your message to the public. Either way, by Internet or door-to-door, your petition is legal and carries weight.

    A petition doesn't have to have a certain number of signatures on it to be considered by the House of Representatives [State or Federal]. The Constitution guarantees that your petition must be considered. But the more signatures, the more seriously the House regards it.]
   
    Now, you've gone online and written your petition and posted it on the internet for the country to see--and you get 100,000 signatures. Now what do you do? Once the signatures have been gathered, you have two options:
   
    Option One: You can send the petition electronically over the Internet to your state   or federal representative in the House. 

    Option Two: You can print the pages and have the petition delivered by postal mail                             to your elected representative in the House.

    To be on the safe side, it is recommended that you do both.

    And that's all there is to it. That gets your good idea rolling—from our end, We, the People.
