Sorry, I still want to start the petition but I feel there needs to be some amount of planning involved to guarantee an official response, the threshold is 5000 signatures in 30 days. I hold no offense if someone else wants to write it up and submit, there isn't a whole lot to it other than stating the facts as we know them. I don't think you would remember me, I talked with you and ShadowDXS once or twice earlier this year right before the wiki was created ( which wasn't online earlier this week) but just to say I've decided to do political activism full-time because of the utter brick wall this issue hit, I am doing an internship with Organizing for America, the Obama campaign, working as a community organizer in Orlando, unless they hire me past this fall internship I will be looking across the country for campaigns and organizations to work for but I'm just saying all this to let you know there are people for who this issue became a catalyst to activism.

I was wanting to get a petition started related to MetalGear and in specifically the Chamberleaks angle, I know you and others have a focus on our government's role in the Arab world but I believe focusing in on the domestic issue, just as it is the only thing the congressional investigation seemed to focus on, has about the only chance of getting any mainstream support. Let me know your thoughts on the basic material to cover in the petition.
