Linguistic analysis uncovers phony names on White House petition
Linguistic analysis of a White House petition against increased coal-ash regulations — submitted by coal industry front group “Citizens for Recycling First” in late 2011 – revealed that hundreds of Chinese signatures from Colorado on the petition that are less than authentic.
The most basic of the fake names appear to be generated by software or small group of individuals that only changes simple things in the names — names like Fred Smith, Larry Smith, Larry Williams, George Jones, William Jones, James Jones, Henry Jones, Peter Jones.
Other names are more inane, inanimate objects. These names are not traditional Chinese names, but foods or even animals. Some of these names include Steamed Bun, Older Sister, Steamed Bun Little Sister, Big Grey Wolf, Little Duck, and Little White Rabbit.
Some names are, in fact, invitations to travel, such as ”Come to China Big” and “Come to China Donkey.”

I reckon all the Chinese that have come over here to get away from Communist China are pissed that America under Obama is becoming more communist and authoritarian than Commie China!
They should start a petition headed, “You been here four year! You go now! You spend too much! You wife Mooch-elle Wookie EAT too much!We no rike you”
