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
Our petition is only 751 signatures away from passing Scientology’s petition:
But wait a minute! Scientology claims millions of members! And the Scientology’s “Stop Leah” petition began one week before our petition and had a 5,000+ signature head start. Our team began only one week ago and we are now closing fast on Scientology. Imagine it: Our team will soon beat a $3 billion dollar Cult that has movie stars and a private Mafia.

My goal is hundreds of thousands or a million signatures for the IRS to open an investigation in Scientology’s tax exemption. Please spread the word. I think that everyone from Atheists to Evangelicals can agree that the Scientology Cult must be stripped of its IRS tax exemption.
Underground Bunker commenter Harpoona Frittata offered a trenchant analysis. The first two paragraphs must surely burn deep into David Miscavige’s deviant psyche:
I saw 2 petitions. Should i have signed both?
Darlene, I can only comment on my petition. I haven’t seen the other one.
Can someone in a foreign country sign in support of this petition? I am Canadian.
Anyone can sign the petition. It is a petition and not an election.
Maybe Leah Remini would consider adding a link for this petition on her FB wall… I think the numbers would sky rocket. I know she supports it a million %. However her attorneys may have kindly asked her not to. Either way I love her cause and everyone who supports this petition to investigate Scientology as a religion.
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.💛💛💛
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. 💛
