Based on numerous requests for a petition, I have created one to oppose the nomination of Alexander Grannis to become NYS DEC Commissioner.

Let's be perfectly clear that individual letters does far more than petitions in this instance, however, amassing a petition containing thousands of signatures also carries a ton of weight.

In order to make this one "above board", the petition does require each signer to enter their street address, state of residence and zip code. You also need to enter a valid email address, which will be kept private. None of your personal information you provide will be released, beyond being sent to the appropriate recipients (NYS Senate and NYS Assembly).

I also intend to copy Gov Spitzer on this one as well.

You may find the petition at the following url:

Please spread the word. I hope to gather this up and submit as soon as possible. Let's get 10,000 signatures, if not more.

Thank you all again for your help in this matter.

Mods, is there any way we can make this a sticky so it stays at the top for a while?

Thanks much

Rich Davenport
