that's great Arun. Just like you, I hope everybody realizes the power each individiual has and when made a collective effort the impact is significant. While the petition won't gaurantee anything, the petition will certainly help create awareness and educate the people. The next steps involved in the campaign 1) Call the MLA's. 2) Write/Speak to the media about the bill and it's importance. 3) Call the political parties We are slowly building the team for the campaign and hopefully the momentum will catch on.

I did delay think hesitate to sign the petetion thinking that this wont make any difference.. .. Y to sign and all that... But when I recollected how RTI was fought for and finally how much useful it was now a days(though its being used in wrong ways by many and for selfish uses).... its still a very useful act(RTI) But I was taken aback by the number of signatures(a mere 780!!!!!!!!! ) ... I expected a few thousands by now.... As its free and there are enugh netizens free of time googling the web(a good % of them being telugu).... may be many of them are thinking like me and not signing(others will sign it and thats enugh or no use signing it or if it has to come, it will come...no signatures needed etc may be) But now I feel we need to say this to all.. I will!!!!!!!! ArunK On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 8:29 AM, suresh <sureshe_att@ yahoo.com> wrote: Hi Ravi, Any contribution towards the campaign will be significant.
