Petition to President Bush Regarding the Future of Zimbabwe-Truth! But Origin and Impact Uncertain

 

 

 

 

Summary of eRumor
An email petition that asks the recipient to add his or her name to the bottom and pass it along to others.  Every 100th person is to forward it to the email address of the President of the United States.  The petition calls for various political reforms and calls on the international community to intervene in Zimbabwe to prevent violence and starvation.
 

 

The Truth
The petition is circulating on the Internet so to that extent, it exists and is true.  TruthOrFiction.com is classifying it as Unproven!, however, because who started it and what impact it can have are not certain.  Email petitions lack the punch of petitions that are personally signed by citizens primarily because anyone can fabricate email names and add them to an email petition.
A real example of the story as it has been circulated:

Subject: FW: Zim Petition

PLEASE SIGN - IT IS IMPORTANT

To sign this petition, 'copy and paste' this message to a new
Message and send to all the people you know in the "To...", "Cc..." or
"Bcc..."box, go to the bottom of the petition and type in your name
and then "Send" We MUST try to get a million copies of this petition to The President of the USA at the Whitehouse.

Remember! , don't just hit 'forward', 'copy and paste' to avoid
Getting at the beginning of each line.

Please would every 100th person forward this to the Whitehouse address:

president@whitehouse.gov <mailto:president@whitehouse.gov

PETITION;

Zimbabwe, "another jewel of Africa" is dying. Strangled by the
Corrupt forces, short sighted self serving policies of the egomaniacal
Dictator Robert Mugabe. Freedom, human rights and sensibility has been extinguished.

Zimbabwe is becoming an unstabilising factor in the regional
politics. Only drastic measures by international democracies will be able to save Zimbabwe from damnation and prevent long term starvation and civil war in the region as experienced in the Congo. We have to ensure responsible governance for the people of Zimbabwe.

The International community pleads for support to save Zimbabwe:
1. The resignation of Robert G. Mugabe
2. Free and Fair Parliamentary and Municipal Elections
3. Non interference or escalation of regional conflicts. Removal of
Zimbabwean Troops from the Congo
4. Restoration of Constitutional Law in Zimbabwe
5. Obedience by the government of the day to the laws of the country.

We the undersigned support this petition We the undersigned support this
petition

Signed:
