This is a Public Service announcement about Hoaxes and Online Petitions--We need to be discerning some are okay, but you need to understand the effectiveness of even the legit ones see the link at the ***. There are sites that you can go to to verify things and they are about 3/4 of the way down the page with ********.
Long ago I learned the hard lesson to check facts and verify things before I threw my name and email power behind it. As a christian we want to be diligent and responsible with our resources and with continuing bad information and projects. It only takes one person to stop and return the email stating "THIS IS A HOAX" check snopes.com or urbanlegend.com to verify information or google the subject to get more information to make sure the issue is what you think and that you want to join that fight. Does this fight have merit? Will God be glorified by this? (is it to help others, will it lead others to him, does it right an injustice).
Phillipians 1:9-11 And this is my prayer that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--To the glory and praise of God.
Several things come into our inboxes asking for us to help the creator out and forward to all our friends and family. We need to be concious of the things we send people asking them to participate in and to pass along. Does it measure up to our christian filter?
Phillipians 4;8,9 Whatever is true, whatever is noble (helpful), whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me,(Paul) or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
***Understanding online petetions and their effectiveness and authenticity is important. see this article, http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/internet.asp If it is a real cause and you really want to have some effect on changing policy or stop something from happening then a letter writing campaign to the appropriate decision maker is much more effective. Even more effective call and schedule and appointment to meet with them and hand carry the letters with you. For most causes and needs their are organizations and advocates, do a search and find one that is handling the issue you are concerned with and they can help you make the largest and most effective impact. Action is good, but action on the wrong thing can cost credibility and take attention away from the real issues that need support and public awareness.
By simply typing in "FCC PETITION TO REMOVE PASTORS FROM RADIO" into the search window, I received many responses these are the ones that are most helpful. Anytime I am wondering if something is truthful, accurate, and legit I go to snopes.com or urbanlegend.com to see if is a hoax. Even a "good" thing that is based in untruthful or misinformation is actually bad. Wasting time and energy on informing people of untrue threats is not responsible, if we would be more informed on the actual threats and if we would be just slightly diligent about checking things out we could do more to inform others of the actual things that we need to be fighting and banning together to stop.

Traditional banking has always been a brick and mortar building where you go to deposit or withdraw money.
This banking Internet option has been very popular not only for customers who want to have some control over their account without having to go to the bank but for banks as well whose man hours have been freed up from performing simple tasks like balance inquiries, account transfers, and the like because the customer does it himself with banking Internet.
Since the whole idea of banking Internet is to make banking as easy as possible, most banking Internet sites will allow you to make a transfer from a brick and mortar bank to the banking Internet site as often as you like with no charge or a small fee.
This is amazing and makes traveling a lot less stressful as well because with banking Internet you always know where your account stands.

Despite the loss and questions about his career, Pellegrini stated that he would stay with Real Madrid to the end. He had no intention of resigning and would keep on working towards the team’s next goal this season: La Liga. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]camiseta real madrid[/url] With this victory, Real Madrid is focusing on their next match against Osasuna, which will be held on May 2nd. During their last match on January 3rd, neither of the two could obtain the victory; the game ended 0-0. Now, this game will be key for both squads; the Whites would be closer to surpassing Barça to obtain the La Liga title, which they haven’t won in two seasons. On the other hand, Osasuna, which tied their last game against Athletic Bilbao, are trying to add a triumph and surpass Espanyol in the 11th place of the standings. If Osasuna end in 11th or 10th place this season, it will be the best position they have achieve in four seasons.

Minutes later, however, the Argentine Nicolas Young suffered a twist in his right knee, forcing him to retire from the game with seconds left in the first half. With the injury, the half ended at 2-0. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]ronaldo[/url] With the win, Real Madrid joins Barcelona at the top of the standings with 12 points. There is no doubt that this will be a very competitive season in La Liga.
