Surely I'm not the first one to think of this sort of thing. I hear about leaving cards. I don't want something that is just a glorified version of leaving a card. There needs to be a way to easily facilitate the masses to respond effectively. The key is "the masses".

Why hasn't something like this already been done, or has it?

Maybe we can come up with some well worded templates for comments (the key is to be respectful) and bombard companies with feedback.

this next part may not be well received but I would also suggest tackling the 30.06 signs first

Great idea. To make it simple there would be a single letter that anyone can download from as a pdf from a server which is addressed to the right person at a business. Then each person sends off the letter from his email.

There's just one problem. This is nothing more than each individual leaving a card at a business. It depends, passively, that there will be hoards of CHLers who will eventually send in their individual letter. Now we are back at the same place. Folks are more likely to work together than separately. But there must be a solution.

It needs to be collective. A single letter, or a single mass mailings at the same time, and we need to ensure that the masses send it in. For example, I would not send it if I could only generate 5 signatures. We might not send it unless we can get 200 sigs. Any thing less just emphasizes that the effort of rag tag and not respectable.
