No, my numbers are not off. When I originally created it, last night, it told me for that to be seen publically on the White House petition site, it needs 150 signatures. Then EVERYBODY who views that site can see it.
Its the first 150 signatures that are critical.
For it to get a formal response, it does need 25,000 signatures. But as I mentioned, once it gets 150 signatures, getting a lot more than 150 should not be too awful difficult.
Whether it will hit 25,000 or not, I have no idea if it will hit that. But UNLIKE YOU, AT LEAST I TRY TO IMPROVE THINGS FOR THE SEVERELY MENTALLY ILL.
Im posting on mental illness support forums first, as an experiment. I suspected I would not get much support here or at similar locations on the WWW. Due to a variety of reasons. However, there will be other places I will shift to and those are the places I know I will get signatures.
It is my opinion that many severely mentally ill individuals do not want help. They just want to complain, be sick, be entitled to government welfare assistance and post on psychobabble.
And society wonders why the legal term for anyone formally adjudicated as unable to manage their own affairs is literally, "a mental incompetent."
Thanks!!!
