Why? What is your desired outcome? What do you expect to happen other than convincing some possible donors not to give their money?
You honestly don't expect an answer to those questions, do you? If they had answers, they would be there in the petition. Instead, all you see in the petition is vague grumblings about research efforts and advocacy efforts, along with fairly large complaints about salaries.
It's always easier to tear down than it is to build up. It's also easier to complain about how somebody else does their job than it is to find ways that you can help that person do their job. It's also easier to be jealous of the success of other organizations than it is to do the hard work to lay the foundation for success in the future.
Out of all those wrongs why target the organization which actually does something for PALS?
Because they'd have to admit their own culpability in electing the governments that do those bad things. Far easier to sit on the porch and point fingers at everybody else. Not to mention the fact that their public "servants" will likely tell them to buzz off -- in polite bureaucratese of course.
Every time the subject of the shortcomings of ALS organizations comes up, I ask the same question: what were you doing for ALS patients a year before the PALS in your life was diagnosed? The usual answer that I get is "Nothing." And that's why we are where we are today -- too many "Nothing's" and not enough "Something's".
Petitioning against ALSA is a "Nothing", not a "Something", and will lead to the same result.
Sorry, KM. You know I love ya to death, but I can't join you on this one.
