IanC,

while it may be true that the email petition contributions are appearing to slow down, i don't notice any evidence of this phenomenon on the hard copy petitions.

on the contrary, i'm finding that the frequency of contributions to these are constantly increasing, & furthermore i'm gaining signatures now from a much wider audience- not just from folkies- but also from 'joe publics' in other areas of life.

in addition to distributing the petition, i'm also raising awareness through distribution of 'Warning- Your Music is in Danger!' flyers & other info. material.

there's still an enormous number of the population who don't have access to computers or emails, so my humble efforts are really just the tip of the iceberg on the procurement of support from this resource.

my main message & conclusion here is- Everyon get out there & get hardcopy petitions filled & send to Graham Dixon before March 15th!
