I've signed it and am in the process of emailing most of my customers and suppliers at work and my friends too.

Are you going to send it to the press?

Yes hope to get a bit of local support first and I am going to e-mail a few mini clubs but please feel free to do whatever you must to get people to sign. We want our little ripple to turn into a wave or as we should say "we can now stop ticking over and put it into first gear."

I have just had a phone call off one of my friends who I sent the link too they have said is there a petition that can be signed without using the internet?  They run a hairdressers and will get their customers etc to sign it many of whom don't have internet access or computers?

If not do you want me to design one what ifo would need to be on there??

The website says:
Quoted Text
Paper petitions can still be posted/delivered to Downing Street. If you would prefer to collect signatures on paper, you should send them to:

10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA


So I guess the offline version needs to include:

Quoted Text
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to to ensure that all the guess work is taken out of the initial breast cancer diagnosis and that every woman with a breast lump concern, no matter what her age will be given a mammogram or the equivalent within 30 days of seeing a doctor.

Submitted by Terry Baker of Small Cars, Big Hearts – Deadline to sign up by: 18 October 2009

And then collect name, address, post code and signature.

It would seem we now have more people on the Cry wolf face book page than on the petition.
