Please accept our sincere apologies. We were not aware that Care2 has inserted those two optional response questions. We don't know why Care2 (the ISP hosting the petition) had inserted those two optional questions about political party affiliation and whether the respondent has children. Those questions and the answers to them are of no interest to the Friends of Historic Glasgow and are not necessary. We certainly did not ask to have those two optional questions included as part of FoHG's petition. We appreciate it that you have made us aware of these two superfluous, unnecessary questions and we've immediately taken the matter to Care2 to get those two unnecessary optional questions removed immediately from our petition. Just skip them since they are optional questions, and do not provide any response to them. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/ Signature Requirements for THREATENED BY DEVELOPMENT: Save the Natural & Cultural Resources of Historic Glasgow, DE Home > My PetitionSite > THREATENED BY DEVELOPMENT: Save the Natur... > Set Signature Requirements Signature Requirements What information should petition signers provide? Each question can be Required in order to sign a petition, Optional to give signers the choice of answering or not, or Not Used at all. You may also choose whether to Show answers to a question on the petition's home page and other public pages. Responses to up to five questions may be displayed, but we recommend that you display no more than one write-in question. In addition to the nine standard questions, you may select up to five Custom questions to use on your petition. Each one can be a Write-In question, where you'll create your own question and the signer will be given a space to write in their response, or a Multiple Choice question, where signers may pick one of a predefined set of answers. Each Multiple Choice question may be presented as a drop-down menu or as a set of radio buttons. In order to provide quality signatures, petitions must collect certain information, such as name and email address. To ensure our users' privacy, some information, such as email and street addresses, cannot be displayed publicly. New Feature!

Care2.com, Inc., has inserted those two questions into our petition without our knowledge or consent. The FoHG most certainly does not want or need the data from those two questions, and we do not receive that data as part of the petition signature reports.
