I received this email today:
There are only 13 days left to register your objection to the 'Pay as you go' road tax ? which closes to petitions on the 20th February 2007.
The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it. Therefore at this time only 671,354 people have signed it so far and 750,000 signatures are required to stop them introducing it.
Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.
Democracy in action?
The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about �200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was �28 for a rural florist and �194
for a delivery driver. A non working mother who used the car to take the kids to school paid �86 in one month.
On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit in time you can probably expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your
monthly bill.
If you care about our freedom and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website (link below) and pass this on to as many people as possible."

Like the Iraq war when there was over 1 million protestors on the streets this No 10 vote on road pricing with over 1.5 million votes is heading for the same bin.
The fuzzy logic that drives this government will answer that therefore over 25 million must be for it. To get a true refection there should at least be 2 options, one for and one against.
