SpeakOut! Email Petitions free WordPress plugin

SpeakOut! Email Petitions allows you to easily create petition forms on your site. When visitors to your site submit the petition form, a copy of your message will be sent to the email address you specified e.g. your mayor. They can also choose to have the email BCC’d to themselves (default). The petition message will be signed with the contact information provided by the form submitter. After signing the petition, visitors will have the option of sharing your petition page with their followers on Facebook or Twitter. Signatures are stored in the WordPress database and can be easily exported to CSV format for further analysis (there is no import function). You may set a goal for the number of signatures you hope to collect and then watch as a progress bar tracks your petition’s advance toward it’s goal. Petitions may also be configured to stop accepting new signatures on a specified date. This plugin is a fork of the speakup plugin that was quite good but had been abandoned. Current versions of SpeakOut! include an importer to migrate from speakup. 2.6.2 Improvement: A variable showing the number of signatures can now be added to the success message so it can say “You are signature number nn”. Thanks Ray S. 2.6.1 Bug fix: previous update didn’t allow for “no email” being seen as duplicate Improvement: a few tweaks to the UI associated with 2.6.0 update. The most important is that the “no email field” opotion can’t be reversed Improvement: Translation updates Improvement: Typo fix “adress” -> “address” Improvement: Added some links to FAQ items in dashboard Apology: 2.6.0 idea wrongly attributed 2.6.0 Improvement – It is now possible to collect names without an email address, cutting the petition to the bare minimum. If disabling email it auto disables opt-in and BCC (since there is no email address).
