Epilepsy petition
I joined a petition online through facebook and here is a message from the guy who is organizing this petition. I urge everybody to signed please, and get ANYBODY else you may know to sign as well.
The Epilepsy Foundation is trying to collect 100,000 signatures on a petition in support of a greater funding, better care and an end to discrimination. Please sign right now at
www.epilepsypetition.com .
We want to show the new President, Congress and our state legislature that the public supports our cause! We also want to raise awareness. Since we launched this effort last week, we've collected more than 1,000 signatures. But we need to collect 99,000 more by our deadline of December 31, 2008.
PLEASE SIGN AND INVITE YOUR FRIENDS!
We need your help to spread the word!
"Dear All,
I'm happy to report that we've collected nearly 20,000 signatures on the Epilepsy Petition (
www.epilepsypetition.com). The deadline for signing is December 31, 2008 so the time to take action is now.
We had a big burst of activity thanks to UCB, sponsor of the
www.epilepsyadvocate.com website. They sent an email to supporters about the petition and more than 5,000 signed. We greatly appreciate their strong support.
The Foundation is also working hard to collect signatures in the final two weeks of this campaign. Hopefully we can hit the 25,000 mark before we're through. Many thanks for your support and please continue to spread the word and help us defeat epilepsy!"
