Keep your title under ten words, but be descriptive and strong with your language. Here are some great petition examples - notice the strong call-to-action for each!
  • Put a Stop to Senator Burns' Racist Comments!
  • Stop Pottersville from Filling Potholes with Toxic Tar!
  • Urge Congresswoman DeVille to Stand Against Pet Euthanization!
Your title should give a brief who, what and why. Example: Demand Sen. Burns Stop Polluting Springfield's Rivers!
?
Who can help to make this happen? It could be the President of a country, the legislative body that governs a state or region, or the head of a company. Examples:
  • U.S. President
  • CEO of Initech
  • Head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Who has the power to make this change? Generally your target will be a legislator, the head of a company, or a local politician.

To write a powerful and effective petition summary:
  • Tell people in the first paragraph (2-3 sentences) why they should sign.
  • Keep your petition short (150-200 words), and include bulleted lists or paragraph breaks to make it easier on the eyes.
  • Be yourself and explain why you are passionate! Then back up your passion with some well-researched facts.
In the first paragraph, tell people your personal stake in this issue and what you want changed. Keep your petition short (150-200 words). Be passionate! Show your personality!

If we need to contact you urgently about your petition (for example, if a reporter wants to talk to you about it), good old phone is the easiest way! This is for those cases where we can really make your petition a success, so please help us by providing a working number. Your phone number will not be shared without your consent.
