Sign the Petition!
A White House petition to ban motorcycle only road side checkpoints has been created. The petition asks the White House to end the funding of the roadside checkpoints. You may be aware that President Obama began his "We The People" initiative back in September of 2011. The idea is that anyone can submit a petition to the White House and if that petition gets more than 25,000 signatures on the website within 30 days the White House will take an official look at the idea and give it an "official response".

Nothing more is promised than a response. Even if the petition gets 1,000,000 signers, it is still a non binding system. The "We The People" has been used for some serious items such as this, but has also been used to mock some ideas. One such petition asked the White House to build a "Death Star", Darth Vader's weapon of mass destruction in the Star Wars movies. The response from the White House on that one? Not gonna happen.

But this is a serious issue. So take a minute to voice your opinion on the checkpoints by signing this position. The deadline is February 7, 2013.
