Absolutely, but I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive.

Well, it took me two minutes to sign it. Not sure I would consider
that a significant investment in terms of passion or energy.

In the meantime the petition has overcome the first hurdle, the 150
signatures needed for it to appear on the "front page" of the
petitions section of the White House website. Frankly, I'd be
surprised if it did reach the 25000 signatures needed to be submitted
to Obama, but still it's a very easy way to bring (some) attention to
the life-extension cause.
