> I know, it was a joke among hackerspaces, but first of all, it was a public petition and we do have the right of asking to "Netherlands be Second" and the White House can NOT censure us this way.  They did NOT remove the petition until now, so if the petition is there, what is the point about obstructing our support to it?
