6. I think they weren't real confident of 500,000 so set that as a goal but 1
million would be ...uh, twice as good! :D

25. I think 1 million is a reasonable number at this point.
Every day I talk with people who haven't heard of the minutes, and every one of them has signed the letter as soon as I told them about it. I run in a pretty political crowd, and I've been shocked at the people who haven't heard about this. This puppy is growing legs exponentially and can only get bigger, imo.

16. I think one in every 600 signed it. Corrected!!
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 12:09 PM by suziedemocrat
Lets say there are 300 billion in the US - that's 300,000,000,000.
and if 500,000 signed - then one in every 600,000 signed it.

Whoops - there are 300 MILLION in the US. That would be one in 600.

14. Ironically, within minutes of passing 500,000..
our military losses in Iraq passed 1,700. These aren't just numbers though, these are our kids wasted in a war of choice, a choice that was made months before *'s charade at seeking a diplomatic solution.

21. the downside, of course, is that they will now have a list of the . . .
first 500,000 for the detention camps . . .

(sarcasm . . . but not by much . . .)

23. I would be proud to stage a breakout with any one of the
patriots that signed Conyers' petition. They can try to round us up at their peril.
