JJ Online Petition

[jed]

Hey, guys. Jed and/or jedeye here.

ShelC over at phxsuns.net created an online petition that states our desire as fans to keep JJ around. I'm sure you've mulled the same details and stories over, as we have, so I wouldn't doubt that we're all on the same page here.

We're two boards with very much the same goal of having fun talking Suns. It'd be great if we could get your support.

Spread the word:

Done.

Have you sent the petition to the Suns office? What about Joe/ his agent?

 

[jed]

We'll send the link to the Suns, certainly. Not sure what good it'll do sending it to JJ's people as it's pretty much in the Suns' court now.

Great idea. Does Sarver or BC have and email address? Think we should send some off. I still beleive Sarver wants to win and am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to him

It won't do much, but it doesn't hurt to have it spread around as much as possible. It could just give Tellem another piece of ammo to show the Suns if it gets big enough.

You could also send it in to Coro and Tumello and hope that they write a blurb about it in the paper.

Signed.

Should post this on every Suns board across the net.

yup - who knows if it'll mean anything but there's no harm in trying.

 

[Evil Ash]

Signed

Thats exactly it. We don't know if this will help open Sarver's wallet but it won't hurt anything either. All we can really do is let our opinions be known and hope for the best.

BTW Amaretotheline - love the Sig

I emailed the link and a short explanation to Paul Coro and Scott Bordow of the Republic and Tribune respectively. I'll post any response I get from them.

Here is the response I got from Coro

Andy,

Thanks for forwarding me the link. It's a very impressive effort. We are going to make mention of it on the sports section's second page tomorrow.
We probably would have given it even more play tomorrow because of our Heat Index columnist's interest in it but his copy is due earlier in the day than most. But we're still getting mention of it in there. Thanks for the note. The public backlash in the past couple days may already have done some good. You probably have heard they traded Voskuhl today to help create some room for re-signing JJ. You guys are great fans.

Thanks,
Paul

wow! power to the people!

 

[playstation]

mention of the petition made it in the paper today on C2. hopefully this increases the visibility and signatures (and also gets Sarver to take a look at it).

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

Mind posting what it said? I don't get a print copy of the paper, and didn't see it online.

Some fans have posted a petition on the internet imploring management to keep guard Joe Johnson by matching any offer sheet that he might sign with the Atlanta Hawks. It's at www.petitiononline.com/phx0506/petition.html and can be electronically signed.

on page C2 at the top.
