As well as supporting organisations and charities, we also give emphasis by signing petitions. Sometimes this can be several a day, but I think it is worth it. It is a way of giving the organisation data as to how many people are concerned about or support an issue, which they can their use as evidence to pursue the campaign. By the same token I often write to our MP on topics of concern, prefacing that email with the observation that she probably gets many such messages/ probably supports the issue any way, but that it gives her another piece of evidence to support her work – ie she can with confidence tell the House that x number of her constituents have raised the issue.
