Hey Sarah! Great! I've just signed it and posted it to Blind Access Journal. Consider getting a good .com domain name and, if at all possible, go on over to prweb.com and post a press release. Of course, we both need to find ways to do much more to promote our respective CAPTCHA petitions, but I feel these two steps are critical starting points.
Please visit http://BlindWebAccess.com and sign the petition asking Yahoo! to make their CAPTCHA accessible!
