coupled with a grand pressure effort

The claim of "petitions dont work"  AGAIN??? Makes ya wonder what the motive is in saying that... "like ok nobody sign any more petition, ok!! That way no one can petition against me" <basic sarcasm>

Feel free to cross post everywhere:

Here are some examples of successful petition/campaigns. Im just copying it from an email I sent to someone who said they were useless.

I can give you several examples which were successful in the past. One of the most prominant is the Hawthorn Elephants case. www.elephants.com

Lisa, I just signed it.  I've signed others like it, too.  I'm sorry to say that I doubt that it will ever happen in the near future, though - maybe not even in my lifetime.  I was in "The System" from the time I was 9 (after my father died from his final stroke) until the day I walked out - my 18th birthday (November of 1973).  Not much has changed since then... especially in foster "homes."  As with the states, it's "all about the Benjamins" ($).  If they trained and/or hired better, more educated workers, the county would have to pay them more.  And you know how stingy the government is with money for people in the U.S. - Bush & Company would rather send it to places like Iraq, along with sending our people to die there.  It's the "haves" against the "have nots."  If we were a celebrity (ala Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, etc.) we would have the money to pay high-dollar attorneys.  But you don't see any of THEM getting their children taken away, anyway, do you?  Would WE (the "have nots") be allowed to dangle our baby over a high railing in public (with plenty of photo and media coverage, no less) and get away with it???   I'm   if you believe we would.

BTW, I would never even THINK of dangling my cat over a railing like that, never mind my baby (in case anybody wondered)!

THX 4 input Echo. I would need help I posted new thread to see if I can have 2 authors on the petition, or give my password out to someone to help me, still have to respond to that thread, the reply was only 1 but the ? has been asked before.

Massive public awareness, well governments often shut that down or the individual to try to do anything. I know animal petitions often do quite well here, I am sure this list is quite short on them actually.

I was thinking of Teresa Vaughn, I know she was and is getting things addressed regarding her son Timothy Joe, and going forward making or trying to make changes to the prision systems,  I am far  to ill and disabled to do that, that is part of why the petition would be done in the first place, one of them any way.

ok, thx again. Sunshine

Thank you to everyone who helped me with the battle to help keep Pepper the Lamb with her family. Agnes helped so much with this campaign, I can't wait until she's better so I can tell her WE WON!!! On late night, August 14, 2007, the City Council voted all in favor of Pepper staying. I just went to post this as a news story and found that a couple people already had, lol!
We launched an 11th hour campaign for more signatures in Pepper's guestbook/petition as they had slowed down after reaching an AMAZING 1,700 plus signatures! They ended up with over 2,000! We managed to get the second guestbook full and a 3rd one started before the Angelman's 7 pm City Council hearing, thanks to everyone everywhere! The story went from being a local news story to being covered nationally and throughout Canada, and via Care2 and email, worldwide! The Angelmans and my family are overcome with gratitude for all the love shown by everyone to one helpless and almost blind little lamb in Lamb Town, USA        

This is what it now says on their homepage:
www.savepepperthelamb.com

"Pepper gets to stay! Thank you all!

Pepper would like to thank everyone for all the support you have provided. The City Council voted all in favor for Pepper to live out her life at the only home she has ever known."

 I sent this message out over myspace. I think the success in a petition is of cause in getting it out but also in getting people to believe that they can make a difference.  First they have also got to realize that they are important and that what they have to say is important. Once you do that you've got yourself a movement.

"You just need to be a flea against injustice. Enough committed fleas biting strategically can make even the biggest dog uncomfortable and transform even the biggest nation".  These are the words of Marian Wright Edelman. 

"A Little Rebellion Now and Then Is A Good Thing for America", the words of Thomas Jefferson. 

 "Thou shalt not be a victim. Thou shalt not be a perpetrator. Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander", this quote can be found on the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC.

The bottom line is we control our destiny when we choose to act. We help the destiny of others when we choose to act on their behalf. We ask that you act on behalf of children that have been abused and those that may be abused because of a very corrupt or incompetent judicial system. We ask that you consider signing one or both of the petitions attached to this site and to pass this message on to all of your family and friends.

Lets be that flea that makes the big dog of child sexual abuse more than uncomfortable.

Peace and Blessings to All,

STOPCOCA
