Re: Petition for the Accessibility of the Portuguese Internet

Hello Rob,

Thanks for your words.
This is the first online Petition in Europe.

Signatures were collected online and the
Petition will be send to the Portuguese Parliament by email.

National Portuguese Television will transmit the big moment :
"Portuguese Parliament got an email ".

Regards
