Colorado restaurant owner Stephanie Bonin probably didn't assume her effort would find such a massive audience, at least not at first. Nevertheless, after starting her petition on Change.org calling for recurring stimulus checks of $2,000 per month, an interesting thing happened:
As of the time of this writing, she's garnered almost 2.2 million signatures. "Our country is still deeply struggling," the petition reads. "The recovery hasn’t reached many Americans -- the true unemployment rate for low-wage workers is estimated at over 20% and many people face large debts from last year for things like utilities, rent and child care. These are all reasons that checks need to be targeted to people who are still struggling and that Congress needs to learn from this past year."
