- Well, petitions are sent as a set of signatures, so maybe it would be
- o.k. to send your letters in one package.
-
- Which makes me wonder: why don't we try to circulate petitions regarding
- the ban? Would that have the same impact as letters?
-
- I know that Amnesty International often passes around a letter to
- be signed and then people add their names, addresses and sigs at the end.
- So why don't _we_ do something like that to fight the ban? (...which
- is not to say that we shouldn't also make calls/send letters&faxes)
