Petitions
Here you can sign up for the most important petitions, or create your own petition.
A Petition is like a Vote. But a petition is more then a vote because you put your name and address on it. That means you're showing commitment, and that you're showing that you understand the problem, and that you are willing to stand up for this particular cause.
But petitions are only one piece of the Making Improvements Process. Everyone's vote must include the corresponding actions that support the reasons for the petition. If you vote for more recycling, then you should also take the necessary steps to increase your own recycling amounts. If you are against a war, then you should not support wars, meaning, just because you are against something, doesn't mean that you are not supporting wars in other ways.
Almost every person on the planet has the power
to vote every day of their life, because every action that you take is
either a vote for something, or a vote against something.
So every
petition will list the corresponding actions that support the goal of
the petition.
This way everyone will have several different ways of
making the petition successful.
We will never force people
to make hard choices, but we will make sure that you're aware of your
choices. The world is in your hands.
Petition is a
request to do something, most commonly addressed to a government
official or public entity. Petitions to a deity are a form of prayer
called supplication. In the colloquial sense, a petition is a document
addressed to some official and signed by numerous individuals. A
petition may be oral rather than written, and in this era may be
transmitted via the Internet.
Online Petition is a form of petition which is signed online,
usually through a form on a website. Visitors to the online petition
sign the petition by adding their details such as name and email
address. Typically, after there are enough signatories, the resulting
letter may be delivered to the subject of the petition, usually via
e-mail. The online petition may also deliver an email to the target of
the petition each time the petition is signed.

I Love the Simplicity of a Phone Call
I was given telephone number that
automatically connects you to your local representative just by typing
in your area code, and then you can tell the representative how you
would like them to vote on upcoming legislation. We have to make sure
that more people know about this easy way of contacting your
representative, because only a few people know about it. Then after
the legislation was voted on I was sent a link that showed me how my
representative voted. This is how it should be all the time.
