How do I put a petition together?

Who is the petition to would be my first question - Congress, the president?\nThe other advice here is good. \nFirst rule: keep it simple. No more than two or three sentences, max. Something basic like "We, the undersigned, urge Congress to support the ratification of the UN Convention..."\nAnd the other thing is having a core group of people willing to circulate the petition. If you have a group in the area that will help you, use them.\n\nGood luck, and hope you succeed. We have been dragging our heels on this treaty for way too long.

Write letters.  Your representatives will start listening if they get enough letters and emails.

Some colleges have different guidelines and procedures for creating a petition. It would be best to check your school's poicies (online or in a manual) or to contact an administrative office. Usually, you have to fill out a form or two and start collection signatures, which you can probably do in person, on-line, or both.

It simply needs verification that these are real people whose opinions are relevant to the stated cause, for instance if you get 50 blind people to say they like the looks of the new uniform, it might raise a few eyebrows. (Or 50 sex offenders, the school wouldn't want their opinion either). Have the signers add date and maybe who they are (student, teacher, parent, etc.), the more well known the signers to the people you are presenting the petition to, the better. And another thing, you can never have TOO MANY legitimate signers.

Write a petition, get everybody to sign it, and send it to your congressman.  LOL - a lot of good it would do.

You question isn’t really clear on what you want to do.\n\nAny citizen has the right of petition, for reference check the first article of the Bill of Rights.  \n\nAny citizen nominate (through support signatures if nothing else) any one they wish.\n\nAmending (I assume city codes) are normally done with the support of at least one council member.  However, any citizen can attend city council meetings and propose any amendment to city codes that they wish to propose.\n\nWhat you didn’t ask is how to develop a viable support group for such an effort.  Just because you petition, nominate, or propose amendments, doesn’t mean that this will work.  It is your efforts to develop support that will win the day and this could take years.

you draw up a petition, collect signatures, and present it to the school board at a public meeting. the number of signatures will depend on the size of the district.

A petition really has to do with persuasion.  A better way to go would have been to RAISE MONEY.  This school probably does not have AC because they dont have the money to buy it (no offense of course!!!  :)  ).  I would suggest a car wash or selling lemonade, and go to the princible with THAT....  good luck!  :)

Go to your County Election Office and tell them what you want to do.  They should have official form samples for you to use when writing your petition.  \n\nThey will also explain the procedures and the number of signatures required for what you are doing.\n\nThen just go get your signatures.

You need to get the word out, thats the most important thing and what the organization supports. You can do this with flyers or the computer  or phone calls.You could also contact the political leaders or members of parliment in your community as well. Speak to teachers and churches, you know, things like that and Iam sure you will find the resources you need...Good luck

Why, Are you thinking about starting a petition that we could all sign???

for a petition, think of something you would sign yourself, if someone presented it to you.  i would try calling local police to set up one of those digital things that tell you how fast you are going or request an officer drive by. after you contact the city council with your petition, and nothing happens, call a local newspaper or t.v. station. good luck with this! keeping kids safe is #1!

I love your idea.  Keep it simple.  You go get a petition signed and you get $100 for every verifiable signature.

The county clerk will have the details.  If it is a state measure, the secretary of state's office.  The details vary from one jurisdiction to another, but basically what you need to do is print up the exact wording of the proposition and circulate it for signatures.  The signatories must all be registered voters of the jurisdiction involved, and there is a minimum number of signatures to qualify for the ballot.  There will also be time deadlines for submitting them.  Be sure to get all this information before you start, because collecting the signatures will take time and organization.  You need to put a handful of the printed propositions, with lots of lines for people to sign, on a clip-board, make sure you have a supply of pens that work, and canvas anyone who is willing to stop and speak to you in shopping areas, public buildings, around bus or train stations, etc.  Then you need to collect about 10% more signatures than the law requires, because some people will forget and sign twice, and some will not be validly registered to vote.\n\nGood luck!  I hope your idea is worth all that.  Once it gets on the ballot, of course, you will still have a huge amount of work persuading voters to vote in favor of it.
