 Note: I modified the online petition slightly, removing the suggested option. The petition's intent was to allow for different alternatives to be voiced; not to dictate one solution. I believe having it open-ended like this will increase support of the petition. If you do not agree with the petition change and would like to be removed from it, please email me here. (6/27/02)
