Petition for Debt Moratorium and Repudiation, Reparations

To all friends, readers and partners, please read our petition sponsored by the Freedom from Debt Coalition and hopefully you will see the urgency of this matter and of course your support to this campaign. It is not only us who will benefit if the government responded but of course the nation. This will only take you less than 10 minutes of you time. It would be better too if you can spread the word to your friends and family so that they can also sign up. This way, we can reach our goal of 10,000 signatures or even more fast. Click on this link to read the petition and sign on - http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/debt-moratorium-now

I also suggest for those bloggers out there who may happen to read this message, please post our petition on your sites and in other message boards. We solicit every Filipinos support.

Thank you very much!
