Has anyone ever tried (for climate change or other issue) directing 
visitors to online petitions such as this one for the UN Climate 
Conference in Bali? http://www.avaaz.org/en/bali_emergency

I'm thinking either through a kiosk in the center or through e-mailings 
to members. What about a specific science center action email list (for 
members or non-members) for petitions such as these? Yes, online 
petitions have their problems, but would this be a next step people 
could take, or a way to connect things they gleaned from their center 
visit to changes at home, work, or school?

Aside from the technical issues of hosting a kiosk, does this seem like 
a way to get more people involved in any issue for which science centers 
start to "advocate"/talk about policy?
