Online petition time methinks.

Well, now there's a thought. Do you know how to do this? Kiefer does listen to his fans.

Yeah, I'll set one up, one second.

This is great. I've been thinking of some good text to go with it. Something Kieferish...

Well, what should the petition statement be? I've got everything copied up, but the statement.

What length? You know me, I can go on for ages...
Is there like a single, short statement and then a bit for additional info? Or just one statement? I was thinking of doing it like a personal letter to Kiefer from his fans.

That's a good idea, do the personal letter thing then post it in this thread, I'll put it in the petition, then we can send it out once we have many signatures

OK, try this and tell me if it presses the right buttons:
Dearest Kiefer,
We, the undersigned fans, urge you to please, please stop smoking, and stay stopped, in 2009. You bring us so much pleasure, on the big screen and the small, and we want you to keep on doing so for many years to come. We want you to Bauer onto our screens and blow our minds away with your acting. You once said that the fans would decide when Jack should hang up his hat. And you are quite right - that decision should rest with us, not with your coronary arteries.
Of course we realise that it is not easy to quit. Some of us are smokers and ex-smokers ourselves. And we will forgive you if, while you are quitting, there is a little less spring in your step, and if you fail to smile quite so sweetly to the hundredth person who asks for your autograph. (Should your acting skills suffer while withdrawing, however, we would heartily recommend the patches.)
Do it for yourself, do it for us. Do it for you children, do it for Hamish. Just do it.
With warmest wishes,
smitten

That's great! Really really good, however, I'll need to cut out the Warmest Wishes Smitten bit, because it's auto signed off as "We the undersigned".
Thanks Smitten, that's really useful.

Yes, I understand. That's exactly how I'd imagined it. We are the undersigned. Thanks, Sam, we make a mean team. I tried to write it so that a wide range of people would feel comfortable about signing it. I know all the stuff about personal choice, and that, but addiction is hard to beat. So, anyway, bringing the thread back round to topic, my favourite character is... Jack. Did you guess that?
