Or if you want to go directly to the petitions: https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions
Once you get to the White House's site, you need to click on "View Recent Petitions" under the big yellow circle. After that, the process is a bit muddled. The names of the petitions' authors are not given, and I don't know what category Marilyn's is under. But any petition you like is worth signing. There are only 111 there right now, so it looks like people are understanding that it's better to sign an existing petition than to create a new petition that's similiar to an existing petition, which could split the pool of signatories.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
My unemployment benefits are paid to me now on a Bank of America debit card. Isn't this new debit card fee just another way for banks to take advantage of us?
