website for White House petitions

The White House maintains a website for petitions launched by citizens.  Before any of the petitions will even be considered a response, they have to get 25,000 signatures.  There are some strange and crazy petitions listed there.  One wants a fully operational death star, another asks for a nationalized Twinkie industry, and yet one more claims we should have motorcycle riding judges who are judge, jury, and executioners.  petitions
