Signed. Tried to donate and got errors. But I got a welcome email from MSI. So I either gave you $50 or something like $200. Probably a good thing either way.

I’m surprised there are still under 6k signatures. This is something every gun owner should sign.

Yup, that's what it was, IMO. Try it on your phone.

I saw the donation after too. This is the only reason for the petition. OK, so that's smart. The petition itself isn't credible.
This is encouraging response for just a few days!
I think you can send the petition to the target organization but it is being used as a fundraiser tool in this case.. The reality is if you put in a real email it probably is getting sold to the highest bidder. Change.org has a controversial past.

That's all it is, very common marketing scheme. We've all got those thick envelopes with questions to reply to as if we are some VIP's, then the hook is all the donation boxes to check and make sure your voice is heard!

I testify in Analpolis and I give money to MSI.

Turn off your VPN. Change.org wants your IP address. Doesn't mean anything nefarious but they probably use location in conjunction to the organizations you support to form some sort of marketing database.
I got the same message when I turned off the VPN it works fine. Some sites will block users with VPNs.

EVERY single petition request, "survey" in the mail, etc. is, and ONLY is a mechanism to get your eyes on the material, or to get you to pass the message along. Absolutely nobody cares about your response, per se. These tools are used to raise funds and spread the word. It's like the push-polling phone calls: "Would you say that you are for murderers, or for gun control?" NOBODY CARES what you say, they just want a moment to plant in your head that if you're not for obviously-benign-thing-X then you are obviously for obviously-evil-thing-Y.
I'm not opposed to fund raisers and PR/marketing. Has to be done. But I'm increasingly annoyed by the phony theatrics of some of these methods. It's harder and harder to support any movement or organization that can't be honest about what they're trying to do, or which seems to be suggesting that you're so dumb you can't understand that the survey/poll/petition is all just virtue signaling to get you feeling awkward if you don't follow up with a donation. Hey! Just ask me for a donation and to spread the word! If I agree with what you're doing, I'll spend the money and preach! Which in many cases I do, and no games necessary.
