Don't Like A Review?

Don't like what somebody said about you in a blog? Wish something could be done because it has to be hurting your book sales? Now you can! You too can go sign a petition at the White House.

From the actual petition:

"Due to the unprecedented number of online personal attacks on indie authors we petition the Whitehouse to direct the Attorney General to investigate the wide spread problem of stalking, bullying , harassment, intimidation, criminal defamation and libel originating from the websites goodreads.com and Amazon.com. There resides on these sites a gang of serial criminals who endlessly attack writers with the express intent to damage, reputations, careers and trade. These criminals terrorize writers on a regular basis and we, the victims, want it stopped."
