Would and could a petition from us here presenting our desires and point of view make a difference?

I personally am not good at writing such things, but we have too many very intelligent people here that can. It only takes 100,000 signatures to get it viewed by the POTUS and there are over 600,000 of us. Is it worth a shot?

The first thing to understand is what the President does, and does not do.

Any issue presented has to be within the President's actual realm of responsibility and Power.

A great many things actually require Congress, as opposed to the President himself. Anything that has to do with Money, means Congress. That means VA, Retirement, and actually 99% of military operations require Congress.

Although the President is the CinC, he only has Operational control, not Budgetary control.

That said, I would need more information to help you word a specific request. I follow quite a few of the petitions over at We the People, and most of them do not seem to understand the above concept.
