Call to action: Petition to dissolve the CRTC

In the past few days I've created a new website (dissolvethecrtc.ca) I'm hoping to turn it into a bit of a community to gain feedback and inform the public of the actions of the CRTC but I've also created a petition. Please sign it at your convenience: »dissolvethecrtc.ca/node/1

Provided I get at least 10,000 signatures and if I can arrange something I'm prepared to hand deliver it otherwise I will send it in via postal mail. I'm aiming for 500,000 but that's being optimistic at this point.

Also feel free to message me if I made any errors in the petition letter or if you have any ideas on what to add.

ok I registered but it says I am unable to sign for some reason, you will need to correct that. Not sure if you have to approve people before they can sign or what not.

But people will not go to sign the site with more then 1 attempt, so please correct that.

Also after people register, have them redirected to the petition not to the user section since your petition section is then hard to find since it does not stand out at all to be clicked and I had to figure it out

I don't see why people need to register to sign a petition...just put some captcha if you are afraid of bots. I won't register just to sign a petition and I think other people will be just as lazy as me.

Hmm well I'll give it serious consideration especially if many people feel that way. Personally I find captcha's a pain in the butt.

There's a count at the very bottom of the page. I'll see if I can put it somewhere more visible though.

BTW should have also mentioned you will receive an email after you submit your signature and you need to click the link to confirm.

Filled out form, submitted, but it didn't seem to record data.

I guess it means I need to register? Can't be bothered. Privacy issues, too lazy, etc.

heh sorry it doesn't instruct you what to do after submission. You should see an automated email in your inbox with a link to activate your signature.
