No, the way to get Apple's attention over Safari is to pull a page out of Apple's own playbook and that page should be "iOS Strategy for Flash." These days Apple doesn't negotiate with developers. When they have to negotiate it's hardball time. Given that Apple mostly ignores requests from the community of iOS developers, the odds Apple will mea culpa to people even less relevant to its strategy than "the help" are probably zero.

A concerted campaign of browser sniffing and delivering a "We don't serve your kind here" to Mobile Safari users is going to stand a much better chance of Apple's attention than a petition. There's nothing wrong with treating the current situation as just business, but if it really needs to change then that change has to be driven by market changes. A Hallmark Card to Tim Cooke ain't gonna do it.
