Best Answer

Federal Laws are not proposed and not passed by petition. You must first interest your local Congressperson in the idea of your law, and then convince them to propose it and introduce it to their particular house of the legislature.

THAT is where the power of a petition might come in handy. If you can produce enough signatures on a petition supporting the law you may convince legislators f the political support you (and your group) have for it.
