Calling all UUs and friends of UUs for Peace (moral, testimony)

[robtex]

sorry i missed that. I signed.

[ayani]

ya Al-Hakam... signing on.

[lilithu]

fyi, we are over 8,000 signatures. At this rate, we're probably not going to make 25,000 but the response has still been HUGE. To see some of the responses left by fellow signees, check out this blog post:
Inspired Faith, Effective Action: Petition for Peace

Please tell your friends and family, anyone whom you know wants to stop this war. You do not have to be a UU to sign (just willing to have your name counted with UUs).

Just signed it and already printed out a copy of the petition (and four copies of the sign sheet) to take to church tomorrow. Wish I'da read this earlier. I missed church last Sunday, so they may already have passed this around...we'll see what happens.

I just got back from Church and, low and behold, it was this month's Sunday Luncheon! A lot of people stick around after church and eat lunch together. Everybody's at a table and it was PERFECT for going around and getting signatures. I got 41!!!!!!!!!! I expected to get some more, but there were actually quite a few conservatives that refused to sign. I held my tongue, just said thank you and moved on. After all, there were FAR more people willing to sign. I even had people coming to me to make sure I didn't pass them up. Anyways, just thought you'd like to know. I'll be faxing the sheets in tomorrow.

That's fantastic powder!! woot!

I wish I could frubal you again, but the system tells me I have to spread them around before I can give them to you again. Could some fellow UUs give a nod to powder, please?

[powder21]

It was very much my pleasure, but of course, I wouldn't mind some frubals

The final tally, because you all deserve to know.

Running 398 pages; Containing 13,006 Signatures; organized by state, city, last name, then zip code (yes it is sorted in 4 ways); covered with an awesome cover letter; and pulled together by six staff, three temps, eight volunteers, and 13,006 UUs.


Reverend Sinkford, our president of the UUA, will be on Capitol Hill today to deliver over 13,000 signatures!! WOOT!! Even tho we did not make our original goal, it was truly our biggest online campaign ever. To all who participated, THANK YOU for being a part of history!!


P.S. Did I mention that we got signatures from all 50 states and (of course) DC?
