I actually find that statement to be false.

While not all online petition sites are created equal i do know of one where they collect all the information to make your signature legal and the information they collect IS verifiable.

And i have seen a few petitions i sign make a difference. I have seem them mentioned in news articles about the issue i was fighting for or against. (It was like only three times i've seen the petitions mentioned in an article but i have seen it.)
