P.S. - Inland Ireland is reasonably easy to reach from England and totally without street lights, as the huge traffic accident fatality rate will testify. If you survive the journey and are fortunate enough to find a cloudless night, the night sky is very beautiful.

You gotta convince Tony that you ain't made up all these names!
I'd also be happy if you could stop the whole onslaught of progress from eating up our countryside, but what can you do?

Two very good points, hmm...
Convincing Tony... I really need signatures I guess, that could be done by e-mail.
Let my think about the countryside issue, I am really conserned about thisgs of that nature so I'll have a go.

I had to travel around for a good 2 1/2 hours to find somewhere in Northern Ireland dark enough to see the Aroura Borealis the other week.

How are you going to get signatures? Scanning? What if the people don't have scanners?

We've still got beautiful dark skies here! And our zoning board measures excess light spilling off commercial sites and if they exceed code, the business is fined for violating the light pollution section of the zoning ordinance.
Just goes

Me too,
Chris Gray,
You could set up an email address specifically to receive petitions, and ask everyone to include an electronic signature.
Or why not print a form letter that anyone can download, complete with Tony Blair's email address?
They probably won't take you seriously because most of the 'real' astronomy is done by the big boys but surely the education issue can't be ignored, not to mention the rights of the individual?
Teaching people to be a little less dependent on technology can't hurt either.
