Due to Congress’s failure to pass legislation to fund the government, We the People has been temporarily disabled.
As a result, you will be unable to create or sign We the People petitions. Once government funding has been restored, We the People will be re-enabled. Petitions that were open as of October 1, 2013 will have their deadlines extended.
Updates regarding government operating status and resumption of normal operations can be found at USA.GOV.
That above statement is actually from the https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/ page which re-directs you to http://www.whitehouse.gov/we-the-people-temporarily-disabled page. How do I know this? I was actually looking for a specific petition for something I was going to attempt to write which I felt worth sharing. That story to come here in the very near future. I just thought I would share this information as I found it kind of entertaining with this partial government shutdown and all. This crap just amazes me. Why not shut down Whitehouse webpages. I bet the Whitehouse still has WiFi though, just a thought.

That “we the people” statement would be almost funny if the whole thing were not so painful.

It’s sad but true. It’s quite retarded how the choices were made to decide what is considered non-essential. It’s like the government just flipped a light switch and poof it’s all fixed.
