questions, please consult the PetitionOnline Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
page. Finally, take a few minutes to look at least two or three existing
petitions already running here at PetitionOnline.com
Then, once you have a sense of how our petitions work, prepare your petition
statement and strategy. Hundreds or thousands or even more people will read your
petition statement at this site, so before you submit, please do take the time
to get it right. Poorly worded petitions with bad spelling and grammatical
errors will be an embarrassment to the petition author.
Spell-checking is a bare minimum! We recommend using word processing software to
prepare the text of your petition statement (which you can then copy and paste
into this form when it is all ready).
For experienced advice on writing persuasive letters and petitions, take a look
at the book Shocked, Appalled, and Dismayed! How to Write Letters of Complaint
That Get Results by author and communicator Ellen Phillips.
When your petition statement is ready, then fill out this form completely and
accurately. When the form is complete, read and click the "Preview This
Submission" button at the bottom of this page to go to the next step. When
you approve the preview and actually submit a petition, our staff will
automatically be notified of your submission.
Once your petition has been written and submitted, and is actually live here on
the web, then it's time to focus on spreading the word. The concept is simple:
the more people you can send here to read your petition, the more people will
sign it and thus contribute to your cause. E-mail a petition announcement to
your friends, submit your petition page to major search engines, promote the
petition in appropriate online forums, and get as many good incoming links
connected to your petition as possible. For a good petition, lots of traffic
will lead to lots of signatures, and to petition success!
Whether you submit a petition today or not, thank you for visiting
PetitionOnline!
I. Petition Statement
This is the heart of your petition - the actual text you will be asking people
to agree with and sign. We recommend that you compose the petition statement
carefully off-line, use a spell-checker to check the spelling, and then copy and
paste the finished text into this field.
Petition Statement:
II. Petition Signatures Information
"Name" and "E-mail Address" are required fields for every
petition and will be included . If you choose for signature names to be
displayed, then names will be shown, but each signer will still have the option
of keeping his or her e-mail address private.
Choose whether to display the names of those who sign your petition. In general
this gives more strength to the statement the petition makes. If you choose
"No" then only the total number of signatures will be displayed.
Display Signature Names: YesNo
Define up to four additional fields of information you want to collect with each
signature. Keep in mind that the more information you require, the fewer people
are likely to sign the petition. If you are displaying names, the below
information will be shown along with the name, so if you are requesting people
to list their address, you should not make it a required field.
