I don't think an on-line petition is worth the paper it's written upon. ;)

As a PA boy, I've been to Falling Water several times.  There's also a FLW
home about a mile (maybe 2) from my home.  I have several FLW architecture
books in my collection too.  I think it would be a shame to destroy one of
his homes but I don't think any on-line petition will help.
