[Patents] Re: 80,000 signatures for software patent free Europe

[seth.johnson@realmeasures.dyndns.org (Seth Johnson)]

Mr. Riley, I know you from the PR Forum.  Given your experience in
political outreach, what methods would you recommend, and what rate
would you expect from such an approach?  When you do your advocacy for
small inventors, do you employ primarily email and web methods, or do
you pile other resources on?  Surely you can imagine how this petition
is being distributed.  Characterizing 80,000 signatures on this petition
in seven days as less than dramatic, seems a pretty bizarre analysis to
me.
