Senators and congress people do not have the power to pardon him. They will certainly not care.
Having a petition on the site gets the world out, and it would keep people's attention on his cause. I worry that people are forgetting that he's still locked up in a cage. Yes, it may get ignored, but it would take an hour's work to get it done. There's very little to lose, right?
I'm not sure how best to keep his issue alive and in the face of politicians, but we should be doing everything we can, right? Whether people here support the idea or not, I'll drive forward and get it done. :)
Congressman and Senators can pressure Trump to do it far more effectively than us little people can. And I have spent too much time doing ineffective things, to be honest. If I don't see a possible course to success, I am not going to play. Sorry, I spent WAYYYYY too much time waving signs at people and standing on the steps of empty offices in "protests" that achieved nothing.
If you want to get to Trump directly, you need to work on your "7 degrees of connection." Unless you have some plan to get MILLIONS of people to contact Trump in a very short time frame, you are just one more gnat buzzing around his head.
I am, sorry, I do NOT mean to piss in your wheaties AT ALL. I am about EFFECTIVE political action though, not "feel good" political theater.
