Re: : Online autism vaccine petition

[Guest guest]

( sorry if this has been posted already)

I am a parent volunteer for Generation Rescue. I was hoping you could post this link to your members. We are starting an online petition for vaccine study, safety, and compensation. Please post this on your group site. We need your voices. Please forward to all who are interested. Since I am contacting hundreds of autism support groups, it is impossible to join them all to do so. I ask that you please have a member post this for me.

Just curious -- is this a Generation Rescue initiative -- or is this

petition just started by someone who happens to be a Rescue Angel as

well?

It doesn't really matter that much who's behind it, IMO. The primary

purpose of online petition drives are not to affect the behavior of

people in power (the target), but to harvest email addresses for

political spam and fund raising by manipulation of people's concerns.

This makes them inherently dishonest in their purpose and to be avoided.

Nobody, nobody in positions of power, pays attention to online

petitions which lack verification controls. Who needs it if you're

only collecting email addresses for spam?
