Thansk Eric, for inviting me here.One thing I know about petitions that it is very hard to get them signed.If you get a lot of publicity it might start rolling like a snowball, but most of the time publicity costs tons of money.

Getting free publicity is one thing,but that is even harder to get.I mean getting your ad on a welvisited site.Like a giant.

Or being famous .That is the one reason I would like to be famous.Because they listen to you then and I am sure I could change the world then.

Thanks for inviting me, Eric!  I will be lurking......

Love, Ree

Greetings to everybody in this fine group.

I am a 62 year old Narbarian, (unborn American sub-culture), that is currently working on a helping America, political type project called "Third Parties Coalition".

I have sent out an invitation, (see below), to 49 "third parties" and so far, have received replies from two of them. The Pot Party and the American Reform Party have both expressed interest in this project and Al Gore and JFK Jr for Presidential Candidates in the upcoming elections next year. 

Because of the wide spectrum of positions and ideologies of all the Third Parties, it is going to be tricky to get them all to work together and cooperate in denying another victory to the Democrats and Republicans.

At the very least, this is a learning experience for me. But wouldn't it be wonderful if We The People actually could pull this project off successfully...and begin a new era for a Better America.

If anyone is interested, I would post a topic string for the purpose of keeping all here apprised of developments about this stuff.

Thank you Eric for inviting me here. It is an honor to be a member of such a well motivated group. All good things to our host Care 2 too.

See yall soon.  Respectfully,  DAN 1

Thanks for the invite

Hello,

I know this is off topic, but I just had a question I thought someone might be able to answer.  Last night I went to "my page" on care2 and everytime I do I get the "internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to send error report" and it closes my page!  I have already gone to care2 help and notified them but no response yet!  I read under possible problems that "your care2 account may have been disabled"? I am able to view OTHER peoples profiles just not mine!  Help!  Does anyone know why or what I can do?

Thanks to Eric for the invite! I hope that i will be able to contribute to the group.I have a BIG CAT Conservation group and previously 10 others all Big Cat related ,and I have been known to write the odd petition!
Iain..

For the invite Eric. Mike M.

They call me Songbird for I'm Native American Cherokee 89% darn proud of it. Thank you Eric for the invite. I will come in as often as I can. I'm leaving for Ohio in the morning for my Mother is very sick. She's 82 and things are not looking good. Prayers to our Lord would be appreicated. Songbird.

Hi I am Michael.

   I'm fairly new to care2.  I do sign most every petition that comes my way.  I'm more concerned about helping humans first, for then I think humans will take care of all of nature.  At least the TV or MEDIA-RIGHT STORM I call it often, has brought awareness to Nature's problems, though not enough.

  My activism started in 1994 when I heard of the Workwer Owenrship of the Mondragon Cooperative, of the Basque in Northern Spain.  As  Union Electrician with all my benefits being sent back to my home local, when working out of town, I saw right away how Unions could make it work here in America.  So I proceeded to sedn it out to Union Halls, politicians, Churches Clubs/bars, and any other address I had.

  I have not got very far yet, but it has been hard work getting here.  There has been a few people in my travels, since losing my Abbey Road Condo in what I call Lemon-minister Massatack, who have heard of me.  My only real success has been getting someone's attention who put 2 Comercials on CMT addressed to #9 in writing, with witnesses to both.

 Any help in putting togather a petition would be greatly appreciated

Hi Everyone,

My name is Stuart and I just joined this group. Thank you, Eric, for inviting me.

While I have limited experience with petitions, I have signed a number of them. I admit, however, I am reluctant to ask my friends to sign them too.

Regarding my telling my story about changing the world to make it a better place, I actually have had a life-changing experience which led me to try to create more peace and human harmony in our world. (I think I may have written about it on my Care 2 profile.)

Currently, I produce and host a local television program (which can also be seen online) meant to create more peace and human harmony in our world. It is called "World Harmony: Can It Happen?"

Also, I am serving as president of the Tucson Peace Center; a member of Democracy For America - Tucson, including its Steering Committee; Peace Group Leader of the church to which I belong and a member of its Economic Justice Group; and a Democratic Party Precinct Committeeperson.

Regarding my needs, I would like to expand my TV program to reach many more people either by television or over the radio.( My experience includes twelve years hosting and occasionally co-hosting television programs and over two years hosting and occasionally co-hosting radio shows.)

As to what do I have to offer to others, I have the opportunity to offer to help others "get their word out" to other people.

Hello All, I found out about this group by visiting the profile page of my new friend Bergstromjoy (Songbird) and with great thanks it is.  This looks like a very informative group regarding things I could use some help with.  I am putting my focus on ending puppy mills.  I have begun researching every aspect from the actual mill, to the web dog registries that cropped up to lend an air of authenticity to the puppy so that the last leg of the journey and the partner in crime to the puppy mill (actually the last leg of the journey oftimes is euthansia ya know killing the dog at a local shelter where it is dropped off because of personality quirks or health conditions due to poor breeding) and to end the whale slaughter.  I know I can accomplish these things, there is no doubt in my mind and I will fight every day in every way I can.  I do need some help.  I need addresses and emails of every single country and company that has ANYTHING to do with whale slaughter.  Please send me any information that you might have or run across. I am starting a personal massive letter,phone call, email campaign.  I will make it my personal goal to have the people that deal with whaling know me by name.  The same with puppy mills, I plan on picketing outside of live sale pet stores, writing, calling contacting legislators I plan an all out attack.  So help me if you have any information--I need contacts and lots of them I plan on cranking out minimum of 4-5 letters every day and that's minimum.  Thank you all.

Should have completed a thought there:  the last leg of the initial journey of the puppy is the live sale pet store and they know that they are selling puppy mill dogs.--Thanks-got carried away by passion.

Hi Everyone
I'm C.C. I have been a Care2 Charter member for 3 years now, but have recently created a new profile. I have been active on and off here (depending on my health) and am becoming more involved in my community now, so I am especially interested in going thru the "how-to" section and learn more about contacting representatives, petitions, etc...
I am interested in doing all I can for all good causes, but am specifically becoming involved in a Resource Investigation Committee for at-risk youth and my city's Disability committee.
Look forward to getting to know you all and learning and making a difference
Peace, C.C.

welcome and looking forward to seeing some petitions or posts...

A little bit more about me. I have Cerebral Palsy and an amputee (both legs) confined to a wheelchair. I am homebound, shut-in. I have worked to earn a living for almost 25 years. Then I had over ten surgeries on my cervical spinal column (neck area) in my lifetime. Now I have been on Permanent Social Security Disability since 1996. I was married and have a daughter. In 1999 an automobile while crossing a street, struck my wife. She died instantly. Now, I Live Alone. I receive only one household income. A Social Security check monthly.
