We need each and every one of you to be the patriots you are.
GATHER AS MANY SIGNATURES AS YOU CAN.
PLEASE TURN IN YOUR PETITIONS AT the places listed on the website or at EDGEWATER PARK THURSDAY August 23, to me. I'll be up top, same basic place as before, near the picnic pavilion with the clay tile roof. Pick up additional petitions for the final push through the weekend. I will be wearing a red straw hat. You can't miss me. Each and every other volunteer should be on the streets getting as many signatures as humanly possible.
On good authority, I have found out that the GCP (Greater Cleveland Partnership) and its partners, the opposition, believe we must hand in petitions by August 24th at 4:30 p.m.
Essentially, this does not allow us our entire thirty days given to us by law. Our thirtieth day is August 25th, a Saturday.
They believe we must hand in our petitions early. We, and our legal counsel, believe that we should have the right to exercise our right to work up until midnight of our last day. We also retain the right to continue to obtain signatures on Sunday, August 26th, because we cannot turn our petitions in until Monday, August 27th. They will be scrutinizing each and every signature. We must have EVERY available signature that we can.
This, then, is our strategy:
1) Hand in all signatures you have by Thursday so we will be ready for any contingency.
2) Continue to gather signatures through the weekend.
IT IS A SAD, SAD DAY IN AMERICA WHEN MONIED INTERESTS CONTINUE TO HINDER AMERICANS' RIGHT TO REFERENDUM.

You should get clarification from the board of elections. It shouldn't be any mystery, or subject to ambiguous interpretations.
ReplyDeleteYou're entirely right--it shouldn't be. Some day I'll share what's gone down here regarding this clarification, but not right now.
