Just wanted to let you know that today I was on the front page of the paper again! It's great to get this kind of publicity. Also, we are sending out the campaign letters today, and are accepting money for out campaign. Contact us if you would like to donate!
As of today, we have over all the necessary signatures to get on the ballot! Thank you to those who turned in sheets.
Now, we need to start the campaign process. If you are interested in helping, please comment on this post or use the contact us link. So far, we need to get sponsors for money for yard signs and other ways to pass the message along.
As of today, November 3ed, we have 314 signatures! How exciting to be almost at the end! Just to be on the safe side, we have decided to get a total of 350 signatures.
We would appreciate it if a few people could fill out a single sheet to help us get the 38 more we need before the snow hits.
Circulators:
Sandy: Thank you for the whopping 140ish you have given us! We could not have done it without you!

We still could use your help! A lot of our signatures have stopped for various reasons, and we are now down to us and one other circulator. If you are interested, please use the contact us link!
