My guess would be no...

For reasons:
1. Who's signing the petition? I could sign any name there that I wanted to, Daffy Duck, Mortimer Mouse, Jessica Rabbit... It's a signature but not a legitimate person. How can they verify the people behind the signatures.
2. Who reads the petition? In the case of Shapelle, why would John Howard, in Australia, give a rat's fig what I, in New Jersey thinks? Unless your petitioners are gearted to your audience and in a position to do something to that person -- like vote him out of office... why should he read it?
