Seeker,

It would certainly be beneficial if the petition to end polygraph screening were to be made known to as many people as possible. Feel free to make copies; if you'd like to collect signatures on paper, that's fine, too.

I think you're quite right that education is the only effective tool we have against the voodoo science of polygraphy. That's why The Lie Behind the Lie Detector was written and made available for free on this website. But you're also right that ultimately, pressure must be brought to bear on our political leaders before this nonsense is abolished. The petition is a first attempt at collective action toward that end. I encourage all to sign, and to help spread the word to others.

My printer runnith over!
I have made numerous copies of letters and the pettition form.  I made my way down to KINKOS earlier to get multiple copies.  I think that being a student, I am in a position to come in contact with so many people that I can do my part to help put an end to this lunacy. 
I have never really advocated anything, nor ever considered myself an activist, but the irrepairable harm being done is outlandish and a total abuse of power.
I will keep you all posted as to my results.

George:
Knowledge is Power..or so I have been told.  
I have found that educated people generally seek out more knowledge, and so I expect some reception to this information.  It has also been my experience that educated people welcome an intelligent academic debate on matters with which they are not that familiar.  Wish me well in my attempts to recruit such speakers and debaters.          

That was exactly what I was looking for.  I was hoping to coordinate their recruiting efforts with a symposium on polygraph.  We students are the policy makers of the future, and as suggested by Dr. Richardson, this issue is a definate point which I will revisit once I complete my eduacational pursuits.
