Petition to save Johnson Valley
There's a petition being circulated in an effort to save Johnson Valley from being annexed by the Marine Corps.
The link is here.
I've already signed it.

Petitions, written or internet, are not legal and binding to begin with, they are merely an attempt to influence a decision through a showing of the number of supporters.

Not disagreeing with in the LEAST. I'm ALL for it. I was just letting you know that you might have trouble unless there were written signatures, that's all.

I've signed it. I think what RedneckJeep was getting at is that there are certain situations in which the law has set out certain protections for citizens. In those cases where petitions are allowed the Internet version would be insufficient.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that the real issue here isn't one of whether or not an internet petition is legitimate, the real issue is one of banding together as a group of people who share a common interest and making our voices heard. Its a step in the right direction.
Even if none of the 'mover and shakers' pay a bit of attention to it, we have won a victory. How? By coming together as a group in support of the hobby/sport that we all enjoy, and beginning to make some noise. Maybe not as much as groups like "The Sierra Club", but its still a step in the right direction.
With that said, if you haven't already, I urge you to sign the petition, join with us in support of offroading, hopefully we can keep the momentum going and really begin to make a difference.
