About

How does it work?

Guy with a megaphone

gSpeakup index page is presented in an vaaz-like fashion with description of the petition and a form asking visitors to enter their email address. Then a new page asks for all required details (name, occupation) and asks for privacy settings. Finally, user receives an email to confirm its signature and is prompted for a link to visit. This visit confirms the signature and displays "propaganda material" in the form of predefined Twitter/Identi.ca messages and other incitations to share the campaign.
