Online Petition

Our agency has encouraged everyone to sign an online petition voicing our outrage at the lastest DOS warnings.

I dont know if I can post it here or not.

If you search for petition online then guatemala adoption you should find it.

So no one is signing the wrong thing, there is a Campaign Clearinghouse Thread on Guatadopt.com that has a link to the correct one. That Media Coverage one is something I did years ago - and I ma still ashamed by the typo in the title.
