good point

Will these members be wearing name tags to identify themselves as
members from this group? Will they leave a notice if I am not at home so I could call back to read the petition or whatever? I don't answer the door either unless I see who it is and they or something is recognizable. Or will you be mailing to the members?

You have good questions.

We will be coming to every member households front door. We will try to catch everyone. I know that we won't be successful with every home since folks might be out of town or whatever. But we will try. We will also make up some sort of name tag. Thanks for that suggestion.

Also, we will be mailing out our position paper to every member household. We will get the mailing labels from the board. So our mailing will be as good as the labels are current (up to date).

democracy

The common understanding of democracy includes the idea that both sides of an issue are fully aired.
Under this system you have set up the people signing the petition will only be hearing one side of the issue. That's only one of many, many ways I do not think this is very democratic.

North Shore volunteers have gone out numerous times throughout the neighborhood to get signatures on issues they endorsed in order to take them to the city or wherever. They have gone out to get the sigatures for the position they are promoting. They have never gone out and collected the yes signatures AND the no signatures.

Likewise on issues of gun control, abortion, civil rights, term limits, etc., etc., etc. when people go out to get signatures they get the signatures from those who support the position they are seeking. That is a democratic process. We are taking advantage of the same process. You don't like it? Tough!

Soooo, I say again, go back to school and get educated. Or go talk to Jackie Guesler. She knows everything and she can straighten you out.
