Demelza Jones, from Friends of Gloucestershire Libraries, said: "Our petition is calling for an independent review of the council's plans for our library services.
He said: "Our petition is over 46,000 which is a huge number and we are encouraged to have the rally today.
As such, the request in our petition is for EPA to adopt a cost-effective approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector.
In a statement, the EPA told POWERnews it was "pleased" with the decision to reconsider the rule, but "the Supreme Court's decision to grant our petition is not a decision on the merits but instead a decision to review the case on merits.
He added that his campaign's volunteer effort was "just the kind of campaign you want to build" because paid petitioners "are mercenaries, and the people who collect our petitions are very animated about our campaign".
Reggie Johnson, a spokesman for the Miller campaign, which used a mix of paid and volunteer petition gatherers, responded: "Our petitioning is an effort to gather signatures from thousands of New Yorkers who believe that it's time to take New York in a new direction.
This is a far cry from Mr. Towns going on record in the media yesterday saying our petitions were the "sloppiest" he had ever seen.
