EDIT: This is NOT like a whitehouse.gov petition! This one has a very real effect, so DO IT!
EDIT 2: If anybody is on Slashdot or Reddit: please post about it there as well. Let's show them what the network effect is!
If you do, please post a the link here. If you don't, please post if you have an account there. Democracy says hi and thanks!

The world's HN readers are now the LOBBYISTS of this petition! Yes, just like the corporate lobbyists in Washington - probably even more powerful considering our numbers.
All you have to do is LOBBY the sh*t out of your colleagues in Switzerland. Everybody knows somebody in Switzerland. If the whole world lobbies the people in Switzerland, that petition will reach Mach10, like yesterday.
EDIT: Why should you participate? You get to store your data in a western country that will continue to defend privacy and democracy.
