Why email petitions are a bad idea, 19 June 2006

From: ana
Hi,

I received the petition written below.
I would like to know if it's still valid and if it really works since the same name will appear on several listings. Also, there is no indication of the persons ID Card. Isn't it necessary?
Thanks for your attention,
Ana... Portugal

Please don't be complacent, do something about the kids of South Africa. >>>You >>>can make a difference. >>>That child is fighting for life.

Hello Ana, this email petition is regrettably older than the hills. It annoys us that South Africans who should know better keep mindlessly sending it around. If you look on the SA Police website, you should be able to find an address to send it too. Thank you for caring. regards SpeakOut!
