I think this guy has a grudge against domainers, but I don't know why...

www.youchoose.com

lol
Probably because he couldn't register choose.com. Also, what's he going to do about the registrars who are hoarding names for traffic revenue...he seemed to make no mention of that.

Other earth shattering, news worthy, life and death decisions to make currently posted on their Website:

# Remove Warrants from Duane "Dog" Chapman & Family
# Let Dale Earnhardt Keep #8
# Stop Domain Name Parking and Cybersquatting
# Save Crossing Jordan


Someone make an offer to purchase YouChoose.net. When they decline, lets accuse them of using a domain name for bullshit causes and file our own petition.

Just thought I would replace "domain names" with "Real Estate" to help expose what an idiot this guy is:

THORNTON, PENNSYLVANIA - Real Estate parking, also known as Real Estate squatting, prevents a lot of the top-quality Real Estate from being used by businesses who can best benefit from them. Instead, individuals or companies with no association with the Real Estate use sophisticated methods and hard earned experience to grab all available Real Estate, and keep those deemed most valuable with the intent of reselling them to the highest bidder.

The result is that people who have a legitimate purpose for that Real Estate either find it unavailable or priced out of reach.

“A petition was launched on YouChoose.net at the end of last week,” Co-Founder of YouChoose Mike Dever said.

“And it immediately attracted hundreds of signatures from concerned Real Estate owners. We realize that the issue of Real Estate parking is very complex,” continued Dever.

“Many people reserve Real Estate for legitimate purposes, but there are also people who are grabbing a lot of Real Estate - obviously much more than they have legitimate uses for - and profiting by selling ads on them or auctioning them to the highest bidder. The YouChoose.net petition is intended to draw attention to the issue and result in action being taken to prevent the most egregious abuses,” he noted.

Real Estate squatters are able to profit because it costs them little per year to hold Real Estate, and while they wait for a buyer willing to pay big money for all of their Real Estate, they can set up billboards to display ads on that Real Estate. This allows them to earn revenues that are sufficient to offset their annual costs.

“As long as services such as Google’s billboard program continues to allow ads to be displayed on the Real Estate, this practice will continue unless the US Federal Government steps in to stop it,” Dever pointed out. “That’s what the YouChoose Real Estate squatting petition is trying to make happen.”

YouChoose.net, is a social network specifically developed for people to turn their "Passions into Actions" by setting up and supporting 'Pledge Campaigns' and 'Petitions' that allow them to promote their cause to others.
