That petition isn't the only thing happening though. There is a HUGE public outcry about this. In addition to the petition, there's thousands of phone calls, emails and faxes that CBS is getting bombarded with, the CBS message boards about the show are several hundred pages deep with complaints, and there is an online campaign pooling money to send the suits at CBS thousands and thousands of pounds of peanuts or 'NUTS' for short. If you watch the show, you realize the significance of saying 'Nuts' to CBS. The Nuts campaign will likely begin getting some coverage on national media news channels today or tomorrow due to a seperate capaign to make channels like CNN & FoxNews aware of it.
And if you don't think there's a chance that CBS will budge, consider this... Since they canceled the show and have been bombarded with the public's discontent in just about every form imaginable, they first said they will make an effort to "let the fans know how it would have ended", but that wasn't acceptable and the complaints continued to mount. As recently as last night, I read that CBS is now considering a 2 hour long series finale to give the show some closure. While that'd be better than nothing, the unhappy fans aren't going to accept anything less than a 2nd season before the complaints cease.
