I filled out the form yesterday and submitted it. I find a serious problem
with the web site, however. If you mouse over the message you type in, or
even get close to it with the mouse off the form, the form will poof your
messages and you will have to reload the site to read what was in the boxes,
or if it was what you were typing in, it is now all lost and you have to
retype everything in again. Further, the text in the boxes for you to fill
out is confusing. It says something like "Why is the environment important
to you?" Huhh? That's not what we are signing for. We are instead signing
for something like "Why are the black vultures going to be killed again?".
Further, the form puts the Country after the City instead of the State. That
led me to type V in the country block, causing the form to send me to
Vanuatu. Definitely an unfriendly petition-signing page.
If this is all that online petition signing can provide, maybe it's best to
go back to pen and paper.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] Black Vultures!
Greetings, all!
Two items to let everyone know about....
First, there is a stop-cull petition directed towards the county, the USDA,
and VA Dominion Power, and it can be viewed here:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/no-vulture-culling
Please sign on!
Just learned that Channel 6 news will be at the demonstration on Monday -
that's fabulous! I'm really pleased to hear that true conservation issues,
like this one, are being covered by the media and journalism sources. Good
stuff - I think there's also going to be coverage on both channels 6 and 12
at 11:00PM tonight as well so stay tuned!
If you haven't had an opportunity to learn more about this situation and its
history, please take a moment to read more from the archives of this
listserve and online. Protecting wild, native species is the National
Audubon Society's mission and objective and everyone has a role to play!
Good evening to everyone.
