Friend --

This is huge: More than 600,000 Americans have already signed our petition to Congress demanding action to prevent gun violence.

If you haven't signed the petition yet, make sure you do that right now:

But we're not stopping at 600,000. So this weekend, folks in Fort Collins are getting together to ask their friends and neighbors to sign on and make their voices heard, too. Will you help out?

Here are the details:

What: Petition drive in Fort Collins
Where: College Avenue at Mountain Avenue
Fort Collins, CO 80524
When: Saturday, May 4th 10:00 am

RSVP now: https:// my.barackobama.com/page/ event/detail/ gskj2y

Something you should know about this petition: It's not just addressed to the Senate. We're letting everyone in Congress know that we will hold them accountable -- they have the power to do something real to help prevent gun violence, and we won't let them get away with refusing to act.

OFA will be personally delivering the petition signatures to congressional leaders next week -- so there's still time to sign it:

Come out on Saturday to make sure people who care about reducing gun violence where you live get a chance to sign this petition:

It's all hands on deck. Thanks for being a part of this.

Show up with a clipboard and your own petition, and just blend end getting signatures.

What is the legality of dumping a clip board full of signatures into the toilet or a near by body of water? Besides it being a super Dick move, is it illegal?

I was thinking similarly. Divide, distract, destroy.

Either that or pump it full of BS names.

I don't know, but it if draws controversy, which side do you think will be presented in the news?

[RiderGeek]

Either that or pump it full of BS names.

BO is a Chicago politician, and his administration is similarly chock full of Illinoisans, pumping things full of BS names is a game they like to play, and would only further their cause. Now, flyering the neighborhoods with the truth before this event hits, and asking people not to sign their petitions, that would be a way to score some win. Time is short though.

If someone could get OFA voluteers to circulate Dem recall petitions, that would be a two-fer of cool.
