whales under threat
The International Whaling Commission has just unveiled a proposal to legalize commercial whale hunting for the first time in 24 years. Now, countries are deciding whether support it -- or push back. Already, New Zealand's Foreign Minister has described some provisions as "unacceptable," "inflammatory," and "offensive."
A massive global outcry is needed now, as other key countries choose how to react. Avaaz will deliver this petition to the Commission delegates each time it adds another 100,000 signatures -- sign below and spread the word!
----------------------------------------------------
there are more than 350,000 signatures for now...

Thanks, ... I can't believe it either !!!!!
Thus me posting this here... I really hope that the sign ups for this world wide petition increase thanks to OB members...
I have been following this petition for 2 weeks & its gone from 100,000 'signups' to over 600,000 !!!!!!!!!!!
As far as I am concerned it's super news that over 1/2 a million people on the WEB protest against whale killing & would be really cool if 'the world protesters' get to 1 Million !!!
I reiterate that I am not trying to sell anything... it's just a chance for 'the people of the world ' to say what each thinks to the 'higher powers'
the nicest thing is that it is available in all languages!
So please readers of OB take 5 mins to put your name down & sign this petition... & 'spread the word ' for the Good of the Whales!
merci

I got server not found also. I googled and got there. I hope this gets around. That's pretty sick.
