Online petitions are just for effect, but are not effective IMO + experience
However, by linking the petition to his website + printing out the signatures to include in a REAL letter you might actually reach him.
More ideas... OK
-- write a message on a T-shirt, wear it + take a pic of it + attach it to the letter or add a pic wearing your #7 Sheva shirt
-- write a brief message in his language, Ukrainian... percik could do sth sensible for a change + help u out translating
, IMO that's a gesture that's always appreciated + may touch his heart + that's what you WANT
-- if you have poems, artwork, collages, copies of your best forum posts... include it (assemble stuff in a binder or sth)
-- your letter should reflect your personality, your style, invest a little time, remember, you want his ATTENTION (I'll even refrain from calling you attention whores
)
-- include sth that is typical of your country, nothing big, a lil souvenir, or pictures that can be mailed, again to make an emotional connection + bring to the forefront of his mind how appreciated + adored he is in all parts of the world
-- NO HATE MAIL !!!
I could probably think of more but I gtg..........
Good luck !
