The White House We The People website says the Administration will respond to petitions that garner 100,000 signatures in 30 days.

Due today, an MRFF petition to “investigate claim[s] of the military indoctrinating religious fundamentalism” only needed 99,995 more signatures.  Five people signed it in 30 days.

Must be that swelling grassroots movement he claims — or maybe its Michael Weinstein’s winning charm.

In the end, it is unlikely more PR would have made a difference.  The military atheist petition started by MRFF ally and former US Army Sgt Dustin Chalker sits unanswered by the White House — since October 2011.
