it's been awhile since civics in high school (and i may not have been there that day) so i'm a little confused about the political process as regards a petition.
i've always assumed petitions either 1) showed intent of 'a bunch' of people to be used as part of some attempt to get the attention of lawmakers, but were not politically/legally binding in any real way, or 2) could be used to get an issue placed on the regular ballot as a process of law.
is one, or other, or something else the case now?
