And if they do, they're just more lazy couch potatoes like yourself. If you really want to do something important, get off your ass, out of your house and actually get people together where they're actually seen and heard by people that make the rules about what you oppose. Having 20 real and visible people is actually going to have more of an effect than 20,000 "online petition signatures". You know why? Because online stuff can be easily faked and dismissed. When you actually have real people where they can be seen and heard; their dissatisfaction evident, that is a lot harder to ignore.
Your online page about an issue is a good start. But that's all it is. If you really have a lot of people that care about what you care about, get them to band together "in real life". Write letters to your legislators, hold a peaceful protest in a public place where you can be seen, work to get more people involved. If your cause is actually worthwhile, more people will join you when you put more effort into exposing your issue.
Oh and when you actually get out, don't make fools of yourselves by breaking things, starting fires and leaving your trash behind when you're done. You do want to bring positive attention to your cause, right?
