It's a pity that foreigners who live for a long time in Switzerland cannot be part of this...
The world's HN readers are now the LOBBYISTS of this petition! Yes, just like the corporate lobbyists in Washington - probably even more powerful considering our numbers.
All you have to do is LOBBY the sh*t out of your colleagues in Switzerland. Everybody knows somebody in Switzerland. If the whole world lobbies the people in Switzerland, that petition will reach Mach10, like yesterday.
EDIT: Why should you participate? You get to store your data in a western country that will continue to defend privacy and democracy.
