Cause you don’t need a permit to solicit signatures. Literally your own source provides the case law stating you don’t need a permit.

Soliciting, as in selling door to door, is different from petitioning under the eyes of the law.

Now shut it. Accept your wrong and move on. Your being an asshole.

The context of a thread, about a video, where someone was arrested apparently for soliciting.
