"They
never listen!"
tell them then!
They should come down here and see for themselves!
invite them!
They don't care!
they do, they just don't understand!
One person can't make a difference!
one person IS all it takes!
People won't sign it!
let us know about your petition and
we'll tell the people who we know... you tell the people you know.. hey, you're
not alone!
We are in this together and together we'll make the community stronger! |
You're
really important... what you have to
say counts!
You
can make a difference and you can fight for what you believe. Petitions
are our way of being heard in the "Corridors of Power", it makes what
we say count.
You
are not alone........ other people feel
the same way!
A
petition is a formal request from one or more people to the Parliament. The
public have used petitions for a long time to make their feelings known about
issues that concern them. A petition is often signed by several thousand people
and over a thousand are submitted each year.
The
rules governing petitions to No. 10 Downing Street state:
"Electronic
petitions are no different from paper petitions in that they must contain valid,
verifiable personal details - your host site should be designed to collect names
and postal addresses at least."
The
Scottish Parliament has a special Public Petitions Committee to deal with
petitions. These state that petitions must be in a proper form which is
determined from time to time by the Public Petitions Committee.
Be
Heard, make a difference.........
E-petitioner - an on-line tool designed by the
International Teledemocracy
Centre - provides an opportunity to see how an electronic petition system works. "Live" petitions -
petitions that are valid - collect names electronically and these are subsequently submitted on the due closure date
to the relevant authority.
You can add you name on-line if you agree with a
petition text and/or add a comment whether or not you agree with the text. All comments are noted for consideration by the relevant authority.
Just go
to the top right and click "sign a ePetition" e-petitioner web-site, click on the
petition(s) that you are interested in. After you have filled in your details, click the submit
button - it's that easy!
The ITC provides support if you want to raise an
e-petition and collect signatures on-line.
