I wish a site that didn’t require an account had been used. I actually have an account there, but the site won’t even let me login using the reset password they sent me, nor will it let me make a new account since my email address is “already registered.” It’s a lot easier to get signatures when people don’t need to go through a lengthy registration process.

You don’t have to register for the site to sign the petition. At least, I don’t think you do. It appears that they just dump you into the registration page after you’ve completed the form.

Eric,
I think you’re right. My bad. I got an email about an hour after trying to sign and thinking I failed saying that I had indeed signed the petition. Nice!
