Depends on what you mean by legal.  If you just want to pressure a
company, sure, go ahead.  However, if you are circulating a petition
to get laws changed, or an issue on the ballot, I don't think so - the
general requirement for a petition is for each person to sign in ink,
proving they are who they say they are.

Just my $0.02, and I could be wrong.

Yes the best site is http://www.petitiononline.com where you can
create and advertise a petition that can be signed by anybody who
visits the site. It monitors names and email addresses so people
cannot vote twice unfairly under the same email address.

Thank you everyone.  I found the web site not long after I posted my
question here.  But thank you anyway.
