The petition module is a means of conducting online petitions and collecting
signatory names in CiviCRM. The module allows users to construct petitions,
view signers and trends in signing, and automatically add members to CiviCRM.


         *** CiviCRM is required to use this module properly! ***


INSTALLATION
