Moveon.org petition rules

1) If reference is made to a bill or document , include a link to the official text of that bill or document. 2) Make sure the facts are accurate and not exaggerations, provide references to the facts. 3) Let signors know to whom the petition will be sent, when and how it will be delivered, and how many signatures are included. 4) Let signors know that legislators will pay more attention to handwritten letters, personal phone calls, visits to their office, than the easy method of a quick internet click. 5) Many people are overwhelmed by the number of petitions filling their inboxes, so they are prone to ignore even the most important issues, so keep petitions to those that are absolutely necessary. 6) When using a petition to inform the general public of an issue, make sure there is enough reliable factual background information to understand the importance of the issue and its impact. 7) Provide the signors with the factual results by the target or impact of the petition on the target or response of the target of the petition, in otherwords, follow up, feedback.
