Topic: Petition



  
 Petition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A petition can also be the title of a legal pleading that initiates a case to be heard before a court.
Petitions are commonly used in the U.S. to qualify candidates for public office to appear on a ballot; while anyone can be a write-in candidate, a candidate desiring that his or her name appear on printed ballots and other official election materials must gather a certain number of valid signatures from registered voters.
The Petition Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of the people "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The right to petition has been held to include the right to file lawsuits against the government.

 Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) Application Process
Petitions filed by a group of adversely affected workers must be signed by at least three workers; petitions filed by any other authorized representatives require only one signature.
After the petition is completed, it must be filed with both the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the state trade coordinator or dislocated worker unit in each state that layoffs occurred.
Who may file a petition - A petition may be filed by a group of three or more workers, by a company official, by One-Stop operators or partners (including state employment security agencies and dislocated worker units), or by a union or other duly authorized representative of such workers.

 Private Members' Business
A Petition must be reviewed and be certified correct as to form and content before a Member of Parliament may present it to the House on behalf of the petitioners.
Individuals who wish to petition the House of Commons should first submit a draft petition (without signatures) to a Member of Parliament to see whether it is correct as to form and content and whether the Member would agree to present it.
A Member may present a petition to the House in either of two ways: by making a brief statement in the House regarding the origin and subject of the petition, or by filing the petition with the Clerk of the House while the House is sitting.

 Petition for Users' Rights
As the petition itself says, copyright is supposed to be a careful balance between the rights of creators and the rights of the public.
While electronic petitions are far easier to sign, taking the extra time sign a paper petition that meets the requirements of parliament goes further to convincing parliament.
No other matter is to be attached or appended to or written on the petition, whether in the form of additional documents, maps, pictures, news articles, explanatory or supporting statements, or requests for support.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Inboxer Rebellion (Internet Petitions)
Even well-addressed, well-thought-out petitions have their problems, chief among them the lack of a guarantee that anyone is collecting and collating the signatures or will deliver the completed documents to the right parties.
This happens whether or not there are any real petitions, whether or not any petitions are delivered to their stated recipients, whether or not the "signatures" collected are appended to them, whether or not only the "signatures" collected are appended (versus the site's owners adding to the list names they have generated).
Yes, a petition festooned with a zillion signatures can have some influence, but only as a tangible proof of a subset of public opinion, and only upon those whose welfare is dependent upon public opinion (eg.
