Good Petition

Someone posted this in the Chronic Pain Group, and I though some people here would like to sign it, too.

Its a petition to The Florida State House, The Florida State Senate, and 3 others titled "PAIN PATIENTS ARE SUFFERING!!".

It nicely worded. I wish it would be sent to more people in the government--or a version of it. But it sounds as if things are particularly bad in Florida.

Wait, it said "thank you for signing" when all I did was click the link. In identified signatures are worthless as they are unverifiable. I'd also like to have seen what I was signing.

But prepare to be spammed by MoveOn.org.

Including your email address is the means for verification. (I believe it is the email address plus zip codes.) I received many answers from my senators and congressmen from petitions I have signed with Move On and Sign On. ( I can't remember what I signed, but I got letters from foreign ministers once.) I believe there is an opt out option if you don't want more petitions. With Move On I've received many petition requests that I have been more than happy to sign. Since I haven't been able to do much in the way of work, I feel that signing valuable petitions is one thing I can do to help bring or attempt to bring change. But I only sign the petitions that resonate with me. I've been a member of Move On since the 90s and I've been perfectly comfortable with what I receive from them. I like to find a few things I can do from my laptop to be some kind of actor in the world--like being part of this forum. Someone in Chronic Pain said it was against the rules, so if I see another petition that I think people might want to sign I'll read the rules more carefully.

I was able to read the letter, so I don't know why you weren't, Peace.
