For those of you who've signed, and those of you who haven't - Just keeping you informed.

I have emailed everyone on my list and told everyone I can think of who might be interested, but this needs some more publicity, somehow. This is a great idea and is growing. Good work!

It's growing little by little it's apparently moving through people's email lists...2015 now.

Even if only one company takes it up then it will help. Not just the US ones, but non US ones as well. BBC, French, German, Arabic etc etc

Some of the neocons have already found it and posted some racist, homophobic comments. I'd like to get it to 10 thousand, maybe even 15 and then ship it off to the UN before the freepers have a chance to respond.

Its your call, but i'd open a special part of the site, "Quarantine" area if you like, where you can put the comments left by the rightwingers.

Let their own words prove what they are about.

Also, perhaps keeping it "below the radar" will prevent you reaching your 15k target ?

I can't quarantine the right wingers without cutting them out manually. I'll likely use a different site for the next one. For this one though, it's being picked up and carried by a few organizations as well - mine of course (see signature) as well as The American Iranian Council, a group called Professors for Peace, an Irish anti-war organization and others. Also, if it's reported by any national media in any country there will be a flood of signatures from that one country. Right now there are a wide variety...in the last 100 signatures are people from the US, Canada, Peru, Switzerland, Guatemala, Iran, England, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Fance, Wales, Portugal and Iceland. This is very much in keeping with the goals of my group. I want to get to 15k, or at least 10 k but I don't want 10k signatures out of 15k to come from one place - it is going to the UN after all. Also, I'd like the first official press info about it to come from the UN itself then let the right respond.

Things seem to be moving in the right direction, well done.
