Please recommend to keep it visible.
The volunteers for Pelosi and Reid are waiting to hear back from their schedulers about the date for delivery next week.
Through this weekend is the last push for signatures. Let's send as close to 20,000 signatures to congress as we can get.
3 things you can do:
1. Continue to encourage people to sign the petition. If you haven't signed it yet, click on the petition graphic.
2. If you know of a blog that took down the link to the petition, ask them to put this link back on their site through next week. Post about the last push and delivery in open threads on other blogs, include this url: www.petitiononline.com/Dean/petition.html
3. Generate some buzz by calling or emailing your congressional delegation. Include a link to the petition or mention it when you call. Tell them it will be delivered to the congressional leadership next week.
Biden, Obama, Corzine, Hoyer, Lieberman and Ford have volunteers who will deliver the petition in the following weeks. The current volunteers are making appointments to get dates for delivery nailed down.
Still need volunteers for Nelson. Currently have none.
A press release went out to: WaPO, NYT, AP, Reuters, LA Times, sfgate, USA Today, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and Chicago SunTimes.
It was a informational release with the link to the petition and statement it would be delivered to congress and other Democrats in upcoming weeks.
I will do another press release announcing the delivery when I have the dates.
