[We the People](http://petition.whitehouse.gov/?ref=killscreen.com) is the offically-sanctioned way to petition the Obama government:

> The right to petition your government is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. We the People provides a new way to petition the Obama Administration to take action on a range of important issues facing our country. We created We the People because we want to hear from you. If a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure it’s sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.

And a sampling of the popular petitions on the site hews to some of the major issues of our times. For example:

\-End the war on drugs and work with O.A.S. Presidents to open the U.N. Single Convention Treaty on Controlled Substances.

\-Recognize the occurence of the Armenian Genocide

\-Legally recognize Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group.

And then there is [the petition that went into circulation this morning](http://betabeat.com/2013/01/white-house-removes-petition-for-state-pokemon-because-seriously-this-is-getting-old/?ref=killscreen.com) for each state to have a government-recognized, offical Pokemon. No bull! Anyway, the party poopers over at 1600 Pennsylvania removed it from We the People “because it is in violation of our [Terms of Participation](https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/how-why/terms-participation?ref=killscreen.com).”

Well, at least we know the official Pokemon of the White House: the grumpy Snubbull.
