Please support my petition for the Girl Scouts to sell a gluten free and allergen free cookie

It is Girl Scout cookie time again. However, many Girl Scouts have food allergies and cannot eat the cookies that they are encouraged to sell. This major fundraiser by the Girl Scouts leaves some girls feeling excluded. My daughter is a Girl Scout and has celiac disease. In the past 2 years, she has sold over 300 boxes of cookies, but can't eat any. There are over 100,000 in the same position as my daughter and many girls who won't join the Girl Scouts because they will feel excluded from this major activity. To encourage a change so that all girls feel included, I started an on line petition to encourage the Girl Scouts to sell an allergen free cookie. We have almost 9,000. The link is:

Please help me to promote this cause. You can share the link on your Facebook page, tweet the link or email it to anyone you know who would be interested in buying an allergen free Girl Scout cookie. Thanks for your help.
