Ciao,
ho appena ricevuto una mail da una mia amica riguardo alle varie
petizioni che si trovano su internet che mi ha fatto aprire gli occhi...
nella grande maggioranza dei casi si tratta di bufale. Si tratta solo di
biechi espedienti per raccogliere indirizzi e-mail a cui poi inviare
pubblicità, promozioni, ecc. Una sorta di catena di Sant'Antonio che fa leva
sulle buone intenzioni della gente.
L'elenco di nomi e cognomi dei firmatari non ha alcuno valore legale,
potrebbero benissimo essere tutti nomi inventati e non c'è modo di poterlo
verificare.
Inoltre manca il sito di riferimento, manca qualcosa di "tangibile" di
riferimento. Bisogna sempre controllare, e bene anche. A me è capitato ad
esempio di aver firmato una petizione che mi sembrava credibile perchè
faceva riferimento a un sito di un organizzazione esistente realmente
impegnata nel sociale, ma poi la mia amica si è informata un po' meglio e si
è accorta che l'organizzazione in questione della petizione non ne sapeva
nulla.
Insomma bisogna stare in guardia e se si decide comunque di firmare e di
inviare in giro la petizione, bisogna avere sempre la premura di mettere gli
indirizzi dei destinatari sotto Ccn, in questo modo restano nascosti.
Scusatemi, io credo di averne diffuse davvero tante!

PS QUA SOTTO UN ESEMPIO DI PETIZIONE FASULLA:
Gentlewomen:
Today 25 Congresswomen in the US House of
Representatives walked out -- and
refused to participate in the vote to give Bush war
powers --- they were led
by Barbara Bell of California and they took up
residence on the White House
lawn..... They say women can change the world. Here
is a chance!
A nationwide effort to unite women against war has
drafted the statement
below and asks each of us, if we are so moved, to
send it out to as many
women and women's groups as we can for endorsement.
Please cut and paste this message into a new
message, sign it with your own
name, and forward it with the petition on to as many
people as you know. If
you are the 50th, 100th, 150th, 200th, etc., person
to sign the petition,
please also e-mail a copy back to:
<pramila@???>

mailto:pramila@mindspring.com

This is our chance to stop this war. Women are a
strong constituency in this country. We only have a
few days.
Please act immediately.

PETITION
Women United Against War
As women embracing life and peace, we declare
ourselves opposed to any
military action against Iraq. As women, we have been
the victims of many
kinds of violence.
We call on you in Congress to oppose any military
action. We make this
demand for ourselves, our children, our parents, our
brothers, husbands,
partners and friends.
We make this demand because we understand that
warfare creates endless
cycles of violence, destruction and death,
impoverishing us spiritually and
economically.
We make this demand because warfare destroys family
life, throwing whole
communities into exile and turning children into
orphans.
We make this demand because we cannot build happy
lives on a ground polluted
by violence.
We believe this is a defining moment in the life of
our country. We will
either take our place in the family of nations as
seekers of peace and
justice or we will start down a terrible road to
war, unleashing the fury of
generations to come on our land.
We call upon you to act with integrity, to show
courage and remember that
you are guardians of the public trust and of the
world we leave to our
children. We oppose this war.
We oppose all elected officials who support this
war. There is no other
issue greater than the cause of peace. No past stand
or history can be
called upon to overshadow the imperative to stand
today for peace.
We, as women acting to shape public life, dedicate
our energy, resources,
and hopes to those who establish peace. There will
be no war in our names.
If you want our support and votes, stop this war!
