MoveOn, Please Act on My Petitions
Karen Feridun
I just received an email from Amy Faulring telling me I should send an email to my past signers asking them to sign my current petitions. Funny, I composed that email more than 24 hours ago and it still hasn't been sent. Now, there are references that are out of date that I'd like to change, but can't. Nor can I find out when it might actually be sent.
I have done several petitions with MoveOn now and have found it very helpful to send emails to signers over the weekend when people have the time to check their personal email accounts. Losing time this weekend is a big problem.
Our issues don't take holidays. Neither do those of us who are unpaid volunteers working on the issues.
Please let me revise my out of date email and then send it out promptly. And then please share the petition with your list.

Why is this important?
I have done several petitions through MoveOn.org. I have learned that getting an email out to past signers is invaluable and that sending one on a weekend seems to work best. That's why I composed an email over 24 hours ago. It was in response to Governor Corbett's Friday afternoon announcement that he is opening more of our state forest land and, for the first time, our state park land to fracking. We need lots of signatures and need them right away.
The email has still not been approved. References in it are now out of date. I can't edit it and can't find out when it will be approved. I'm losing valuable time. So what appears in my inbox today? An email from MoveOn suggesting that I email past signers. It's ridiculous.
I'm asking MoveOn to 1) let me revise my email to update it, 2) approve the revised email promptly, and 3) take the extra step of sending it to their list to help me make up for lost time.
