Carol ..

We started a petition regarding our problem of my husband being refused a residence card under my EU rights in France. It started well and we spent hours promoting it on social media. We managed to obtain 100 signs in 4 days at one point and then it went stagnant, lucky to get half a dozen signatures in a week. It was then that we realised that lots of people who said they had signed (and donated) did not appear on the downloaded names list. They were not receiving the verification email to register their signatures. Many complaine emails to Change and they still have done nothing. All they keep saying is to update to let people know to tell people who think they signed to contact them. How do we contact strangers? They are idiots and liars as our petition has not been promoted anywhere by them.
I would never advise people to use Change.org. We believe our petition is restricted because we are in a battle with the French authorities
