Larry, Just so you don't feel too bad, I have gotten it many times & even from the same person more than once. I've gotten this twice in the last couple of weeks. The second time a few minutes ago. It used to be I'd only get it every 6 months or so. I guess with W. Bush getting elected it started to sound more believable.

I'm one of those to view all petitions as junk/chain mail. If you're not, at least check for dates in the text you are getting because anything like this should at the least have a cutoff date.
