Katim,
You did a wonderful job setting up this petition and I urge all concerned
gambians to please sign the doggone petition. I just did. Ebrima and Jabou,
kudos to you two. Keep up the good work comrades.

Hi folks,
Following is the final version of the petition to Amb. McDonald. Please note that I
am yet to add the address it is to be sent to. I hope to get the mailing address
tomorrow, and in time to be included in the paper copy of the petition that will be
delivered in person to Amb. McDonald when he meets a number of us on Fri., Oct. 12.
Also, I have gone ahead and setup an online petition collection script for our use.
The script also includes the petition, and you can sign it at:
http://www.concernedgambians.org/petitions/ambmcdonald/
Please note the following:
1. You can choose not to have your name shown to the public. I suggest this, for
the simple reason that it will protect you from people who would want to collect a
list of names and addresses for purposes such as direct marketing (junk mail - folks
in the US will know what I'm talking about), and whatever else catches their fancy.
In order to prevent your name and address not being shown to the public, you should
make sure that you remove the check mark in the box to the right of the question:
"Would like your name to be displayed in public?" Just click once on the box to
remove the check mark.
2. You need to confirm your "signature" of the petition. For this reason, the
e-mail address you provide must not only be valid, it must also be yours, or
accessible to you. You will be sent a confirmation-request e-mail after you sign the
petition, and provided a link to follow to confirm your signature.
3. You can also send e-mails to your friends to ask them to sign the petition.
Information about how to do this is provided after you complete the form, and is
fairly straightforward. If in doubt, don't worry about it.
4. I will e-mailing Amb. McDonald a copy of the petition to enable him review it
prior to meeting our representatives on Fri. Oct. 12. As I indicated above, a paper
copy, and the list of people who signed the petition will be provided him at the
meeting.
5. Please sign this petition as soon as possible. We have only about 2 days to
collect signatures, before we submit the petition on Fri., Oct. 12.
I guess that's about it. Have a great week(end), and best wishes.
Katim
