"Disclosure Petition II - The Rockefeller Initiative" was submitted to the White House "We the People" website on February 23 at 2:05 am EST and quickly began accumulating signatures. Before the petition could acquire the 150 signatures necessary to be publicly posted to the White House website it was pulled down by the We the People moderator.
Paradigm Research Group received the following email from the White House:

Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 10:53:43 -0700 To: "We the People, WhiteHouse.gov" <wethepeople@whitehouse.gov> From: Paradigm Research Group <PRG@paradigmresearchgroup.org> Subject: Re: Your petition has been removed from We the People
To "We the People,"
Which person's privacy has been violated: President Barack Obama, President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Vice President Al Gore, Governor Bill Richardson, former Obama transition Co-Chair John Podesta, or the late Laurance Rockefeller?
In what way was this person(s) privacy violated?
What information are you referring to?
Comment: please understand I hold no personal animosity toward any of these public figures. However, I fully intend to put as much pressure on We the People as possible to convince you to post this petition to the website and allow the American people to demonstrate their support.
In that regard I apologize in advance for any unseemly correspondence you might receive from any citizen angry about your decision to censor this petition. I cannot control how people express this anger.
Respectfully,
Stephen Bassett Executive Director Paradigm Research Group 202-215-8344
