It's a workable first step. Some suggestions:<p>You need to actually suggest new wording. Lawyers can be consulted -- does the EFF propose model legislation? Perhaps it should.<p>Convincing your senators and representatives that this is an injustice that needs to be fixed would help.
Do you think Pussyriot would be free today if there were no laws against "hooliganism and incitement of religious hatred"? Once the prosecutors go after someone, they will try to win at all costs, to the point of ruining someone and their family members.
The problem is wider than the CFRA. The problem is with criminal prosecution of citizens that were not intending to commit a crime. Criminal intent is a cornerstone of our legal system but more and more it's becoming unimportant in prosecutions.
This petition is guranteed to fail. The domain of writing, passing, and modifying laws is the domain of <i>Congress</i>, not the President. You can pester the President all you want, but it is not within his Constitutional powers to do anything about the law. (Indeed, even announcing that the DOJ should not enforce the law is a potentially impeachable offense depending on the political environment.)<p>If you want the CFAA reformed, call, write, and/or meet with your Congressional Rep and Senator and tell them what you think of the law.
