I have found GoPetition very helpful. Setting up the petition was fast and easy, the site for the set-up is easy-to-navigate, and those who have signed the petition have found it easy to use as well.

There is an optional comment field where signers can add relevant comments. (Great feature)! There are also various privacy options to choose from. (Not every field is a required field). In the time I've had my petition, I have had to contact GoPetition staff a couple of times to request minor updates.

They have an approval process for all changes (with a goal of responding within 6 hours). They just need to verify that any changes being made are not substantially changing the content because this would compromise the integrity of the petition. They are very helpful. I highly recommend GoPetition.

I created this petition here (below) on Stumble Upon (using my regular GoPetition link) and I would appreciate if those reading this would take a moment to sign it in support of awareness for an illness called endometriosis, which affects 89 million women and girls worldwide! I have lived with endometriosis for 28 of my 41 years and we are using this petition to target the media... which sadly tends to do a poor job of covering endometriosis facts.

Here's the link:

Any signatures are greatly appreciated. If you could do 1 extra click to give it a thumbs up, I would be very grateful. StumbleUpon reviews of my petition are also very greatly appreciated!! We currently have 541 signatures. Hopefully this number will keep growing.

I definitely recommend GoPetition!

Thank you!

I love Dorian aka coffeesister! Her insights and wisdom are fantastic. Her optimism, even in the face of adversity, is to be admired. Her sense of adventure is inspirational. Her grace and persistence in the face of challenges makes her a role model for others in how to make the most of life despite obstacles, despite the fact that life is not always fair, and despite any naysayers. Dorian is one of a kind... and that is meant as a high compliment!
