LM,
I'm not sure what petition you're looking at, but the main
petition has nothing. to do with Facebook and, as of yesterday,
afternoon, has almost 2,000 signatures. I think you're looking
at the Facebook cause, not the petition, which can be accessed
on it's own and has nothing to do with Facebook. Here is the link.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/We-Want-To-Read">http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/We-Want-To-Read</a>.
Hope this helps,
Stacy

So, my other inquiry is, do you need to be a member of FaceBook
in order to sign this petition?
I had to press a "continue" button in order to be taken to the
actual petition site. I see that only 158 people have signed
it. If you have to be a FaceBook member to sign, we're
excluding a lot of folks. Our goal is ten thousand, and we
won't reach that goal jus through FaceBook.
Just some thoughts.

I don't think you ned to download the application, but I am not
entirely
sure. I just was sent to the petition site and never clikced
"allow" like
you need to for the other facebook apps. This is a different
site that is
linked to facebook--not actually a facebook application. You
do need to
fill in yur name (which you can choose not to display) and your
e-mail and
your physical address (of which only your state is displayed).
