Port Hope citizens not among the estimated 3,000 who signed a petition Wednesday telling the the world they can speak for themselves, may be heard.

The Citizen for Port Hope petition can still be signed and is available at various locations throughout the municipality.

For those who haven’t been following the story, the petition states:

As a resident of Port Hope and area, I hearby endorse the following public statement:

• The Port Hope Community Health Concerns Committee and FARE do not speak for the citizens of Port Hope

• The information released by these groups was selective, manipulated and misleading

• We are offended that they chose to release this suspect information in Toronto to capture national media attention rather than announce it locally

• We call on the Port Hope Health Concerns Committee and FARE to release the full study
