I hope that you not only will "sign" the above petition, but will forward it to your representative as well.
You can do that directly by using the below link to e-mail the language of the petition to your
Congressional representative:

Make sure that your friends and sympathetic family members are e-mailed the link to the petition -- only
through "spreading the word" can the potential effect of this effort be realized.

Another critical thing to do -- for the really committed -- is to write a short (100 word) letter to the editor
of your local newspaper about this petition, and include the web address:

Or, you could even get people together to pitch in for an ad to include the text of the petition.

For those who had ideas for additions or modifications to this petition, but submitted your thoughts
after the petition was published, please feel free to craft your own version of this petition and send the
resulting text to your representative. You can e-mail your representative, regardless of where you live,
at the following link:

Please post your stories about this petition to this page -- successes and failures -- and we'll learn from
each other in a collaborative effort to help the Peace Corps maintain its mission.

Thank you for helping to "keep the ball rolling!"

Sincerely,

C. Gallagher.

An Important Note:

I have recently gotten a goodly volume of e-mails (and one or two complaints) which leads me to the conclusion that the announcement of this petition has been broadcast far and wide. This is good. However -- If you choose to broadcast news of this petition, please make sure and add a brief note to the recipients indicating who you are and why
you are sending it -- this will help avoid misunderstandings as it is transmitted to various individuals.
