I signed up no problem - a little bit fiddly with AOL but pretty straight forward.
Good luck with your petition; I think it is a great idea.

I used mozilla and had no problems with the link or replying and the counter moved on between my replying and checking the total had changed.
Edit forgot to mention I got the email confirmation OK as well. I agree with Lazydaisy's point below I didn't sign as a parent as my children are in their 40's but my concerns for my grandchildren being exposed to a constant diet of adverts normalising indebtedness are probably more valid than many parents as Grandparents generally have more time available for daytime television viewing which many working parents may not have time/opportunity to view.My weight loss following Doktor Dahlqvist' Dietary Program
