It has no direct impact, but it's free to sign and can quickly balloon until it's no longer ignorable. The current petition already passed 1M signatures

People should also call their reps

    Anyone (eg. people who've never even been to the US) can sign one of those as many times as they want. There's no verification so it's not even representative of US voters, much less any particular Congress person's constituents. Congress people want to know what their actual constituents think, not what could just be Chinese bot farm. Your congressional representatives are not paying any attention to online petitions. Period.
