So, to encourage a more participatory government, the White House put up a petition page. Anything with enough signatures gets looked at.
But the nerds got into it, and now a petition to build a Death Star has gotten over 31,000 signatures.
I did not sign it. I'd rather have a Jedi Temple. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Well, the White House responded to the Death Star petition.
White House responds to Death Star petition: No Posted by CNN's Gregory Wallace
(CNN) - It took no advice from the Imperial Senate to reach this conclusion: the U.S. government won't be building a Death Star.
A White House official responded Friday to an online petition on its website proposing the government turn what is “Star Wars” fiction into reality - you know, to boost the economy.
It looks like they had some fun with this one from these quotes. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
"The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it," Shawcross wrote, citing a calculation performed by students at Lehigh University's College of Business and Economics.
Also, Shawcross noted, "The administration does not support blowing up planets."

Good response, too. We need Jedi, not Death Stars, anyway. ;D ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
