[Vision2020] NPR Petition

[Your Favorite Intolerista Liberal Elitista]

It definitely had the odor of a hoax.

Almost all effective petitions presented on the "information highway" are 
maintained at specific website.  Normally, an introduction letter is introduced 
with a link to the petition for "signature" or requests a verifiable return e-
mail.

I am certain that the "petition", below, probably reaches thousands of 
thousands of peaple.  One question that you should ask yourself before 
you "sign" is "How do they retrieve the signatures?"

Hmmmmm.
