MoveOn: Stop slamming petitioners onto mailing lists
MoveOn: Make it possible to opt-out of additional emails when signing petitions.
Why is this important?
"Slamming" is the practice of forcing people onto mailing lists without their explicit permission.
The purpose of this petition is to ask MoveOn (SignOn) to add an opt-in checkbox that lets petitioners decide whether or not they want to be added onto mailing lists for MoveOn, MoveOn PAC, and SignOn when they sign petitions.
SignOn's current policy is to add all petitioners onto these various mailing lists, with the understanding that "you may unsubscribe at any time." This isn't sufficient, especially in cases where someone wants to sign a petition relating to sensitive subjects (e.g. domestic violence) and doesn't want to receive confirmation emails and additional campaigns related to that same subject.
SignOn and MoveOn: Please allow us to participate in democracy without obligating us to participate in your mailing lists.
