Wikipedia is not a place to advertise petitions. Thank you. Hut 8.5 17:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The main concern is not the link, but the whole article. The whole thing is clearly designed for the sole purpose of promoting a petition, and for that reason it should not be on here. See the links above for information on how to contribute effectively. Hut 8.5 17:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Something does not have to be commercial in order to be promotional. The main problem here is that wikipedia is not a soapbox, so you cannot carry out political activism here. I don't like the war in Iraq either, but that is irrelevant. Our articles must be neutral, whatever the subject matter, and this article clearly does not meet these criteria as it is clearly endorsing something. The content relating to constitutional rights would be better placed in the Petition article. Hut 8.5 17:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
