In my fourth attempt to sign the thing, and by then it was just a personal
challenge to me, I managed to do it following a set of directions about the
extra key strokes to use when you get to the sign button. But even then, I
had to do it over 3 times before it worked. I wonder what the NFB
leadership was thinking when they set this thing up.

Subject: [blind-democracy] more on NFB petition
One of the more cynical list members wrote.
So far, only about 1500 people have signed this petition, and more than
98,000 more signatures are required by Feb . 11. This is more than the
combined membership of all the blindness advocacy groups in this country
so
it is unlikely that the 100,000 signature threshhold will be met by the
deadline, especially since this petition is not very accessible to begin
with.
They could have used Change or Move On or the other sites that lalow you
to
do your own petition and that are easy for people to use. But perhaps
those
websites are too liberal for NFB?
