Hey,
I also signed the petition, thinking it may help for a good deed I posted the link in a aol message board for others and all I've gotten is crap from this idiot. Why is that?
I mean you either sign or dont. Why so much BS. I'll post what was said here for ur opinions but this person is getting on my nerves.

Lyz517 · 08-11-2005, 05:43 PM

After I posted the link this is what I got....

1st) Internet petitions are useless, this is one of the places that takes your info and sells it to spammers.

Yahoo! News - Online activism _ a lot more than just petitions Focus on Internet petitions Washington Office for Advocacy: Tips on Effective Advocacy About.com: http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/19...ons/index.html Metroactive News & Issues | Internet Petitions snopes petitions Petitions The low down on internet petitions Urban Legends Reference Pages: Inboxer Rebellion (Internet Petitions)

2nd) Target: Joann Barile, Congress; Christine Whitman EPA; George W. Bush President Un, None>>>

These are the "targets" of this petition. It doesn't give a way to either change what happening or any alternatives.

Mr president You love your dogs like you love your own children.. Shut down the puppymills! Stop the breeding for Profit! and Inflicting cruelty and Inhumane living conditions!>>>

It says one of the goals is to stop breeding and doesn't clearly define what exactly a puppymill is. I'd hate to see dogs become extinct because of a poorly worded document full of emotional claptrap.

Don't you think a President should do whats right regardless of weather or not he/she has a pet?

Animals and children are two vastly different things no matter what anyone thinks of them as.

This all purely emotional BS designed to incite and doesn't offer a real workable solution. Its poorly thought out and doesn't target the right folks.

When the parents are no longer useful to the millers they are disposed of- (shot- beat or what ever methods they want to use. ) >>>

I don't like puppymills but lets be real. Who is going to beat a dog to death when they are done breeding it? If its all about money a bullet is cheaper and more efficient.

But whats the most important thing is if you want something changed you have to provide the lawmakers with what you are looking for. It says what the petitioner thinks is wrong and doesn't offer a real workable method for change.

A lot of the signatures are from people from other countries, these have no sway becuase those folks don't vote.

One also wonders why the author of this petition didn't even care enough to sign it herself?

This is perhaps the laziest way to try and be a political advocate.

Overall you are a lot better off lobbying your local elected people and your own congressperson. Of course this takes time and actual effort but is far more effctive.

This is just an emotional plea that has no chance of effecting real change and the people who sign are just trying to make themselves feel like they are doing something worthwhile.

this is the last one since I havent replied to his last post all from same person and prob wont reply..

3)I just responded to YOUR post, I didn't just pull this out of thin air.

You are promoting crap as far as I'm concerned.

This is called a differing opinion, I'm not "getting on you" just offering a different POV.

It easy to be a slacktivist, it harder to be a real life activist.
