I've been getting a lot of e-mails concerning grammatical errors in the petition. I'm sorry about that. I'm an engineer, not an english major. I just want everybody to know that I've been made aware of the errors, but am not sure how I would go about fixing them at this point.

I have received a suggestion for a rewrite, that I had a teacher friend look over and bless. If the opportunity arises to fix it I will, but I do not intend to start this process all over again.

Jeff, did you have any one pick on your grammar on your flag petition? Were you able to fix it? If so how?

Oh yes ... I am an engineer too and made my share of errors. If you are ever interested in that bio, click ... HERE

Anyhow, regarding fixing the petition, at the bottom of the petition page there is a link to "Petition Help". Use that link, identify yourself as the petition author and then paste the "fixed" version into the window.

Make sure you let PetitionOnline know that the fixes are all typos, spelling and grammatical in nature and that no subtance or wording has been changed. They will fix errors, but they will not accept a substance change of any type once the petition is published and gathering signatures.

It usually takes 3-5 days for them to get the fixes done.

At least, that is how it has worked for me. Good luck.

Keep BUMPING here on FR, but also have folks post to other forums, continue urging them to use their email chains, etc. I have a standard reply, suggesting all of this that I respond to for the hundreds and hundreds of positive emails I am receiving on the other petition. I am convinced that, that effort is helping a lot too in keeping that petition going.
