ITS 200 DAY! THIS IS THE CAMPAIGN OF CAMPAIGNS!
ITS 200 DAY!
We have reached the big milestone, and our 181st signature came in completely organically without my having to chip-in to promote the page, something that happens EXTREMELY RARELY as a user without social media.
Our anti-geofencing campaign has unexpectedly and ironically become an accidental international success, what started out as a “protest petition” targeting UK users has become only my SECOND EVER campaign on the platform to reach a user in Canada, and the first ever to reach a user in South Africa. Users from all over the world are absolutely more than welcome to sign and support the cause, as they, too, struggle to reach users in other countries due to evil IP-address and currency geofencing when running their own campaigns.
This is the CAMPAIGN OF CAMPAIGNS, because more campaigns will be able to declare victory and win if change.org implemented my proposed changes.
As I audit CSV files from my past and present (currently inactive campaigns), I have spotted absurd anomalies.
The CSV files for my lighthearted joke petition, which was deliberately set to a Local scope from Day One targeting “daylight-deprived Brits”, are far from being and are ABSOLUTELY NOT A JOKE! Two of its total signatures have originated from outside the UK, with one from the VERY TARGET COUNTRY my US election petition failed to reach (Richland, Washington State) showing UNDENIABLE PROOF of an official US Zip Code, and to date only has one fewer international signature than my US petition overall which was set to a global scope the entire time!
Likewise, another concurrent campaign I am running with just over 300 signatures about a complete UK-centric cause has two signatures from Canada, and multiple supporters from international regions such as China, American Samoa, Israel and Hawaii (USA) DESPITE THE CAMPAIGN BEING ENTIRELY ABOUT TRANSPORT IN LONDON with TfL as one of the official ‘Decision Makers’. It’s incredibly ironic that a British campaign about transport in London can reach a supporter from the VERY COUNTRY my US snap election failed to reach!
I am using those two specific campaigns to argue that if a campaign about London transport and 9pm sunsets can reach supporters in the United States, why can't my US election petition do the same?
Even a past successful campaign I ran about a UK-centric cause which ended up with a total of 1,569 signatures (thanks to other supporters helping me on my behalf + another similar campaign on the platform) had confirmed signatures from Belarus, Iraq, Germany, India and Bulgaria despite the cause!
We are now neck-and-neck with my joke petition despite that one being the polar opposite to this very campaign (which amassed 125 signatures on Day 1 whereas it took 18 days to reach 5 signatures).
This has now become my second-most-important campaign behind my flagship Easter date campaign, and my third-most-important is the London-based petition that ironically got a signature from Hawaii.
Reaching this milestone means that the geofencing on petitions falsely marked as 'Global' is a SERIOUS ISSUE and a SCANDAL, and this is a multi-cause platform improvement campaign because one of the key goals is to point out to current users the platform's current design flaws and not to trust the 'Global' or 'Local' scope settings because BOTH ARE NOT TRUE.
I came across this campaign launched by a UK user, which shows I am not the only person based in the UK to run a campaign about another country's government, this petition below clearly needs signatures from Cyprus and that user should have been able to (under my proposed system) to select "National - Cyprus" from the drop down menu to distribute the ads to users in Cyprus.

Out of protest of my US election petition getting NO SIGNATURES from the US, I signed this petition below (which coincidentally also had 253 signatures before I signed, and was launched 2 days before my Earliest Easter movement), and mentioned my UK location on it in the 'supporter comments' section proving that a US-themed petition can reach the UK!
I also help other creators when I sign foreign campaigns about issues I care about, because I want them to know they have successfully secured my signature from the United Kingdom WITHOUT HAVING TO CHECK THEIR CSV SPREADSHEETS!
