Re: [Patents] 300939 people!

I agree with you. People dont believe in electronic signatures, specially
when the physical demostration in front of the parliament was about a
hundred people. I think that it should be stablished a week to concentrate
the postcard flow. People who is speccially involved could buy more than one
postcard and stamp, so that support from people is again a signature.

I would really buy a pack of postcards and stamp. It´s cheaper than
demostrating physically there!

You just then have to set a date, a collection o picture designs and texts.
And the most important: the address!

Hope somebody feels like me.
