You have probably been directed here because you "signed" and forwarded a chain letter type e-petition: e.g. for Afghan Women, saying "add your name to the list, forward to everyone you know, when there are 50 names send to...".

• Petitions - well intended but pointless e-mail based examples
• Hoaxes - deliberately manipulative (as opposed to well-intentioned)
• The Bad News
• The Good News

So what can you do?

• Petitions - effective web based examples
• Campaigning organisations

Important: when referring people to this site, only reply to the one person who actually sent you the e-petition. If there are CC e-mail addresses, ignore them or you just make the congestion problems worse! It is up to the person who sent it to you to let them know.
