Hi Ed:
The petition will be presented from the Capital Region Transit Advocates.
We (Citizen Action) have endorsed this particular cause and offered to create the online version of the petition so it could be easily promoted on the internet. The "become a member" clause is standard on all of our internet forms, and just means that you'll be added to our email list (from which you can easily unsubscribe any time you get an email from us).
Thanks for your support of this campaign!
-Charlie
