The numbers on the Change.Org petitions as of August 28, 2017 as of 12:15 AM PST tell the story:
6054 vs. 5304 signatures

Anyone can sign the petition. It is a petition and not an election.
Jeff, Thank you for all the work you are doing not only your writings but the petition which I think is an excellent tool that keeps the pressure on. I was honored to sign it.ššš
Thank you Ann. BTW, it is quite pathetic to see Scientology’s STAND group using stock photos to create fake STAND members. Truly pathetic. OSA FAIL.
STAND certainly is pathetic! I am very happy to see OSA FAIL anytime anywhere anyplace. š
