Did you know how Easy this all was?

Anyone could manipulate ANY of your petitions and with no trouble at all.

For such a great site, you have let down your guard and let petitions be editable by anyone who knew the trick. The simple changing of the petition URL and adding of only 11 characters made it possible to change any petition and one would ever want.
-
Improve your security to prevent issues such as this.
-
In fact this petition is a testament for your Failure. It was previously about a poor girl being prosecuted for loving another girl of a like age. But now I use this petition, I have changed it to be a message.
