> Both the following petitions must be signed.  (I don't understand why this is so, but that's what it says.)  They need 100,000 petitions signed for each:

> Due by Sept 15 petition:

> 
> Due by Sept 17 petition:
> https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/proposed-shutdown-nists-wwv-and-wwvh-radio-stations

> It says:

> This is so annoying.  Every few years or so, we get these petitions to block the shut down WWV and WWVH.
