What Is An Electronic Petition?

An electronic petition is similar in nature to a traditional paper petition

, however it is posted in an online setting for people to read through and then sign electronically.

Many people do not believe that electronic petitions are worthwhile and feel as though they are often ignored by the intended target.The truth is, since the petition is posted online, they get a great deal more exposure from people in a wide variety of locations, and can collect a much greater number of "signatures" than a traditional paper document.

Electronic petitions simply require the person wishing to take part to type in his or her name, and email address.This keeps the petition accurate, and limits the number of signatures to one per email.The process is really that simple; there is no software to purchase or download, all you have to do is type!

In today's ever growing technological world, more and more people are choosing to voice their opinions via electronic petitions.Most recently, a large number of people opposed to the new health care reform bill have taken action and have launched a campaign to send a message to their government leaders.

Since most people do not like to spend a great deal of time reading through a ton of literature, most electronic petitions are short, concise, and grab visitor's attention with a direct headline or title.In fact, many people even search for online petitions by typing in key phrases important to them.For the issue of the healthcare reform bill, phrases such as: "Repeal Obamacare" and "Stop Obamacare Now" are just a couple of popular options.

Perhaps the best part of electronic petitions is the anonymity that goes along with them.No longer is there the need to canvas neighborhoods, knock on doors, and ask for a signature.You do not have to worry about people judging you for your views, and you do not have to feel awkward about your opinions.You just log on from the comfort and privacy of your own home, sign your name, click, and you are done.
