(Someone from the NWS Employees Organization created this petition, not me)
"The passing of the proposed budget cuts for the NWS(National Weather Service)'s budget must not be allowed to happen, Allowing such budget cuts will not only cripple the NWS's ability(ies) to predict up and coming storms that has and will save many lives will put our nationals people back at risk of more unnecessary loss of lives. Further more a look at 2011's massive tornado outbreak, in April 2011 these tornadoes killed at least 344 people people in the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast in just April alone. With the aid of radars, satellites and the employees that issued warnings of these storms saved many lives. I dare not think of the total losses that would have come if not for the NWS's warnings of these destructive storms."

Bump. It's a bit annoying to have to register to sign this petition, but it would be great to get as many signatures from AmericanWx as possible to help reach the 25,000 goal.

Took a couple of tries but the website finally let me sign it. Even after siging in the "sign this petition" icon would not turn color for me to click on it. I finally had to click on "having problems signing in" and then it worked.

If you know who wrote it, might want to see if they can edit it. It's not written very well, and yes, that does matter.
Yeah that's been driving the NWSEO nuts. It was actually made by a fan of the Protect the NWS Facebook page and it's not possible to change it after it's submitted. I think the union is going to make one and try to get more signatures.
