Forbes mentions a number of petitions on their website:
I would recommend to anyone who agrees with the text of this petition to take a few minutes and sign it. Not because the White House will actually do anything about it, but because there is the potential to use this petition along with other actions to create momentum towards this goal, especially if this petition gets some media attention, which could happen with all that's going on now.
I worked professionally in the petition business for a number of years, helping to get about 100 issues onto the ballot in about 8 different states. Even when the chance for approval is slim to none (as is the case with this one) it can be an effective political tool serving other purposes. It can be a vehicle we use to make millions of people aware of issues such as this one on revoking tax exempt status for the cult, and that in itself is a worthwhile goal imo, and one that is necessary if we are to ultimately prevail on this issue which I believe we will.
There are two petitions, here and here, to eliminate exempt status for all churches. One of the petitions indicates that we might raise 71 billion per year that way. There are also a couple of petitions to revoke the exempt status of particular churches. There are a couple about Westboro Baptist church. This one is the most popular. Scientology also is the subject of a petition .

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Recognize that the Church of Scientology is harmful to both its members and critics and revoke tax exempt status. It is obvious that the Church of Scientology is physically and psychologically abusing its members in an attempt to extort from them.
Scientology is abusing its legal classification as a religion to deny its members basic human rights and operate as a criminal organization. It is time to revoke the status it so wantonly abuses.
It is also time to recognize the Church's abuse of the United States legal system to illegally impose its will on those that would criticize Scientology and its practices and bring to light the true purpose of Scientology: to take advantage of people through extortion, intimidation, and faux-religious blind-siding.
