MoveOn Petition has over 200,000 signatures

[godai]

The petition says: "Debate moderators abuse the public trust every time they ask trivial questions about gaffes and 'gotchas' that only political insiders care about. Enough with the distractions—ABC and other networks must focus on issues that affect people's daily lives."

1. Where does it give that number (although I'm not surprised)

on their website? I didn't see it at the link.

2. From email I received...

Great news. Our campaign asking the media to focus on the big issues—not trivial "gotcha" politics—is picking up some major steam.

We set a goal of 100,000 petition signers—and doubled that goal in less than 24 hours! (Thanks for being one of 200,000 strong.) Plus, news media from the Washington Post to Reuters to ABC World News itself reported on the backlash and our petition.

Today, we're designing an ad to increase the pressure on ABC, and we're planning to run it on ABC's own website! The ad will include the message of our petition and the number of signatures—and we want that number to be as high as possible.

5. Done. But doesn't it cause concern

that it took Wexler much longer to get 100,000 sigs?

Where are our priorities?

7. Because Wexler wasn't the 1st and people have already signed other petitions calling for impeachment

is my guess.
