Also, the HSV meeting drew two very influential members of the community, one a retired minister, who will set up meetings for us with state's top leaders of Methodist and Pres. He has knowledge of drug policy reform and knows how to push thru resolutions. This alone was worth the 12-hour day. Special thanks to Gene who met me at HSV and co-hosted the meeting. Last year's casino petitioners at Riverfest ruined it for everyone.
Local events offer easy opportunities to fill up petitions.
Take your petitions and ask around. You'll be surprised at the level of support you'll receive. And you don't have to argue. If you mention it and the other person is not convinced, give them our brochure or suggest they visit our website. We hope to organize teams of people who will visit festivals, concerts, etc. to petition, but we need to establish a comprehensive list of such events and prioritize them.
