The power of the online petition?

There has been a lot of talk this week about people power, and how groups can rally to a cause, often using the web.

So I was impressed to see the level of support this round robin emails received, when it arrived in my inbox moments ago.

As a rule, I don't pass along these "add your name" lists that appear in emails,
BUT this one is important.
It has been circulating for months and has been sent to over 20 million people.
We don't want to lose any names on the list so just hit forward and send it on.
Please keep it going!
To show your support for Gordon Brown please go to the end of the list and add your name.












1. Mrs Gordon Brown.
