The problem with these online petitions is that once someone has signed one, they think they've done their part and that's ridiculous. I notice that the spaces for physical street address and telephone number are optional. How many folks do you think will give all of their personal information to a company who earns their living gathering valid email addresses?
Remember, an online signature on a petition is useless and not even counted if there is no street address and telephone number given.
You want to do something about a situation that threatens your and your childrens' well being? Write your elected officials, knock on their door, telephone them...ask them where they stand and what they plan on doing about it. Tell them that you want and are waiting for their answer. Then and only then will you have at least started to do something.
End of rant.
