Even the White House has a site where they accept online petitions and officially respond to those that do well. So the success rate for these kinds of things is actually pretty high. Any time you can show that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of people support an issue or proposition, it gets hard for big corporations and governments to ignore that kind of popular opinion, and Change.org is a great tool to do that.
