Only took a couple of days, wow.
A question about these petitions, do they need to be started by an American citizen? Can they be put forward by an American citizen involving a foreign country, trade issue, human right issue outside the country etc.?
Petition urging terror label for Antifa gets enough signatures for White House response
A petition put up just days ago urging the Trump administration to label the left-wing Antifa a “terror group” has attracted well over the 100,000 signatures needed to merit a formal White House response.
The left-wing group has been the subject of intense scrutiny in recent days after President Trump controversially blamed “both sides” for the violence in Charlottesville, where a counter-protester at a white supremacist rally was killed in a car attack.

It was posted on the White House petition site, whose rules say any petition getting over 100,000 signatures in 30 days will be reviewed and get an “official response. “
As of late Monday, it had over 160,000 signatures, after having been posted Aug. 17.
Antifa leaders contend their aggressive tactics are used only to fight hatred and racism.
