I know, I have signed many petitions and I can honestly say I have never signed once without reading the things. There have been a few people who have basically sugar coated petitions for me, talking about it and making a lot of stuff up. Then I will sit there and read it and I have turned them away because it wasn't what they were making it out to be.

Another thing, I am not sure if its like this in other states. In Idaho you MUST be a registered voter or your signature doesn't count in the petition. I have never been asked if I was a registered voter by anyone collecting signatures. I think they really need to ask people, otherwise they'd just be wasting their time.
