WHITE HOUSE PETITION TO INVESTIGATE THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY - PLEASE SIGN

Five minutes ago I accessed the usual petition page at http://wh.gov/40s and it was up.

Two minutes ago there was a referral to a page that said:
Thanks for your interest in We the People, a new tool on WhiteHouse.gov that allows all Americans to ask the Obama Administration to take action on a range of important issues facing our country.

The petition you are trying to access has been removed from the site under our Moderation Policy because it is in violation of our Terms of Participation.

While you can’t sign this petition, there may be other petitions on We the People on a similar issue that you’d like to add your name to. Or, you can create your own petition.
Kinda fitting in the circumstances!

The short link doesn't work for me (the same happens here). The very long link does still work.

Edit: This one works fine too. http://is.gd/Yb7jDM

The original short link works fine also it is generated by the Whitehouse server itself for use on twitter.

I explained in detail what happens when you click it 20 or so pages ago.

So carry on

Last time but one I clicked on it it didn't work for me. It went to that "petition removed" page. It had been working before. This was after closing and reopening my browser, which normally removes WH cookies, so I assume the "cookie" that causes that redirect is inserted deeper into one's computer.

I then cleaned out my temp files using Crap Cleaner, sorry now CCleaner at http://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER, which is a free program and WONDERFUL. Just use the default settings, no need to tweak it at all unless you're a power user.

After the clean, http://wh.gov/40s worked fine and opened up the correct petition.

So for those who say the link doesn't work, clean your temp files with CCleaner and it will probably work correctly.

EDIT: Hah! The http://wh.gov/40s link doesn't work for me again and redirects to that removed shut-down-obama-administration page, even after a further CCleaner redo. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Hrmmm...if you copypasta the first link (the one that works, it goes to /4Os...(note that it is a capital letter "o".)

The one that is borked goes to /40s.....note that it is the number zero.

Just goes to show you can't divide by 0 :)omg:).....

I guess the Problem is the "0" in the wrong and the "O" in the correct link.
The character directly following the 4.
wh.gov/40s
wh.gov/4Os

Over the last few hours I got two more people to sign. If each of us got just ONE other person to sign, this would be DONE!

I actually walked one of them through it over the phone. It doesn't take long.

Make the effort.

Help. :yes:

Less than 500 to go and WWP hopes to make it by 2 PM Hawaii time, another 4 hours. Can ESMB meet the challenge? Yes it can.

Only 465 needed so if you signed and got 5 friends or family to sign if they agreed and they in turn asked 5 to sign.
