Sign a Petition to reduce airline rates for our military
Please visit the website, read the petition and sign it. This is an excerpt from the petition:
Air Fares for Active Troops:
Our military is not "flying free" as most Americans believe. As a majority
of the airlines do not provide discount fares for the military, the men and
women actively serving our country are paying for their own flights home
during leave and - in many instances - are paying higher fares than most of
the public. The reason for this is that they are unable to book their
tickets in advance as their leaves are not always granted 21, 14 nor 7 days
in advance. Please sign the Military Airfare Reduction petition to ask the
government and 11 major airlines to provide military discounts to those on
active duty. Many are unable to fly home because of the inability to afford
the airline
rates.
Please sign this petition in the hopes of showing our military who serve in
place of those of us who will not fight our appreciation for their service
and dedication.

Although the website is a great expression of support for our military personnel, the government doesn't accept any electronically generated petitions. The only petitions it sees as valid is the old fashioned paper petition that people actually have to sign. However, I think it does show that there is some concern for this issue and it might make them take notice.
