so (an exaggeration here) if one million people sign a petition stating that we do not feel the ban is fair, they will simply say "look how big the PROBLEM really is, we have a million people here who want this, a million morons who will just keep on bringing these animals into the US so they can escape or get released...
See what I am trying to say? it does not matter how "educated" we are, it does not matter what promises we make, we are no different to them than a million pot heads begging for legalization of dope.

A reason I have been asking if a compromise (and I would assume an educated one) was proposed in the initial fight rather than trying to rally people on social media...
A million electronic signatures on a social media will not change anything as to them that's a bunch of people who could not be bothered to get off their cloaca for what they believed in. Although four decades ago 1 million people did manage to change a government stance on legislation enacting social change... of course they did show up altogether on the steps of washington. I believe it was called the million man... something or rather.
