The 'organized petition' is probably more common here in the US than in the UK, but I have always been doubtful of its effectiveness.<BR/><BR/>Were I in the position of receiving hundreds or thousands of such lookalike petitions, I would probably ignore them as being an organized 'political' ploy.<BR/><BR/>A personal letter to one's local representative would appear to be more effective.
