WENDELL ROBINSON . COM

I got an email last night from a friend and frequent reader who’s done his fair share of grassroots political work in his time asking my honest opinion on the status of the efforts of the PutItOnTheBallot folks.  We’ve known each other long enough that when he asks me an honest question, I give him an honest answer.

Here’s the email:

wendell,

     do you know how may signatures have been collected?  i know the filing deadline is tomorrow at 4:30.   was wondering if 50 signatures would make a difference.  please advise. 

I told him that if you had asked me the question a week ago, I might have told you that there’s no way they can get it done, but now after circulating my own petition and talking to people on the street as well as some heart to hearts with the petitioners - they have a real chance of pulling this thing off.

TRANSLATION - EVERY SIGNATURE COUNTS.  Even if you can’t get more than four or five on a petition, that’s four or five more than if you hadn’t done it.  Want to do something for this community?  Go to any of the locations listed here and sign a petition.  If you still have petitions out there please, please, please make every effort to get them to the petitioners as listed on the PutItOntheBallot website.

Just Do It!
