I'm not sure that each person can write their own thing. Do letters from individuals get added to the count? Regards from Tom :) I agree. We need ALWAYS to accept different points of wiev. The final outcome is more important. A friend of mine resgistered and signed without being US resident. In fact nothing says you need to be a US resident to sign a petition... I will also try. ----- Original Message ----- > From: Alan Boba <abo...@gmail.com> > To: "users@global.libreoffice.org" <users@global.libreoffice.org>; > "us...@us.libreoffice.org" <us...@us.libreoffice.org> > Cc: > Sent: Friday, 28 December 2012, 20:32 > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office listed in petition to promote > the use of free software in our schools > > On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 11:42 AM, Tom Davies > <tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk>wrote: > >> >> >> Hi :) >> I thought a few people on the Users List might be interested in this >> petition. >> >> Apparently you need to create a whitehouse.gov account to sign Petitions >> which would probably put me off signing.
