Well... Given how effective our "cards and letters" were to congress regarding the bailout... Do you really think a billion petitions will have any effect?
I doubt it muchly.

I have seen nothing further other than the video. Just a bunch of talk here without any references to actual policies or published news.
So where's the articles? One sentence in a video does not constitute relevancy.

Ummmm... how about THIS for starters? That didn't take much searching, I'm sure it's on Yahoo and a bunch of other news outlets. This is huge news. The question is, do people care?
President Sarkozy seemed to have a rather more sweeping vision to deal with what he called a "worldwide crisis", our correspondent says.
He said that he and Mr Barroso came with a mandate from the 27 nations of the European Union, adding that the crisis could offer a "great opportunity" to build the capitalism of the future and leave behind the "hateful practices" of the past.
"We cannot continue along the same lines because the same problems will trigger the same disasters," he warned.
Mr Sarkozy said the hedge funds, tax havens and financial institutions operating without supervision should all be re-thought.
Mr Barroso said European nations had taken swift and concerted action to tackle the squeeze in the financial markets, but stronger and more effective global action was now required.
"We need a new global financial order," he added.
But she adds that Mr Sarkozy, whose country currently holds the EU presidency, has made it clear he wants to move away from finger-pointing and towards a partnership with the US to overhaul the world financial system.
Only mob psychology whipped by OP paranoia can make such a translation.

You're kidding, right? Thank you for sharing your enlightened knowledge of how commercial monetary systems work
And while you're at it, can you please explain how "a new global financial order" can work with counrty-independant laws to control the funds?
I believe you have missed the point of the original post, and suggest starting back at page 1, reviewing "opinions". Then perhaps you could Google some good books on economics to raise your standard of thinking, as well as your I.Q.
You obviously missed the video link...I might suggest looking into that as well before joinging back in on the conversation.
There is no such a thing as "commercial monetary system" -- this term doesn't simply exist. It's only used by petition-forming individuals who got totally lost in the woods of paranoia.
Where do you derive your lines from?
You need to ask the European lawmakers who adopted the euro.
I didn't miss anything.
No, I didn't miss it.
That female voice talking about the EU proposal to establish a global currency belongs to a misguided journalist.
Or post a link to a news source with the quote.
Bush said. "We must resist the dangerous temptation of economic isolationism and continue the policies of open markets that have lifted standards of living and helped millions of people escape poverty around the world."
Barroso said it was time for the entire international financial system to be reformed.
"We need a new global financial order," he said. "The European Union and the U.S., we can make a difference together."
Sarkozy also stressed the urgency of what he said was a "worldwide crisis" that demands a "worldwide solution."
He said he agreed with Bush's view that reforms not challenge the foundations of market economics. But he added: "We cannot continue along the same lines because the same problems will trigger the same disasters."
But Mr Bush said he looked forward to hosting the meeting and welcomed hearing "good ideas from around the world".
THE US President, George Bush, has agreed, under pressure from allies, to host a summit of world leaders to work on responses to the global financial crisis, including more rigorous international oversight of markets.
