What's the point of PetitionOnline.com?

[DanTMWTMP]

I don't get it. How does it work if it does work?
Is it just some online petition to make people feel better about themselves?

Is there any documented evidence that it has worked in the past? It's not even spread by the media.

I just don't get the point of even making or signing a petition at that website.

It is indeed a "feel good" thing. Personally I never sign these for reasons stated in your OP.

I signed one recently thinking it might help.

I was rewarded with spam in my e-mail box. :|

It makes the college activist kiddies feel like they are accomplishing something and their opinion matters.

It allows the little people to think that their opinion matters.
