This afternoon was magnificent.
We got most of the Glendale staff signed on the petition and handed out three blank petitions to Glendale staffers, all of whom promised us at least fifty signatures by taking it around their neighborhoods, to their local police force, through the stands at soccer and baseball games, and generally finding anybody and everybody who wants Senate Bill 5 repealed. That's the kind of excitement and dedication that we're looking for.
Then, after a brief break in the air conditioning (and we use the term loosely) of PHS, we headed out into the swelter of the warmest day of the year so far to receive a bountiful blessing from the Princeton community on their way into for the final choir concert of the year (and of Jamie Holdren's PHS tenure, congrats, Jamie). We saw parents, aunts, uncles, retired staffers, alumni, current teachers, and lots of our union brothers and sisters signing for us. We saw wives telling their husbands to sign, parents bringing back their graduated children as they'd promised us from Monday night. We saw seniors filling out their voter registration forms just so they could sign and support their schools.
We've filled two petitions entirely and have nearly full Butler and Warren county petitions. Those'll be turned in to Ann Bayou on Friday so we can get new petitions and hand those out as well.
Our Glendale connection came through, so now we just have to get Glendale to give the okay to us using the park (we don't think it'll be a problem, but the form has to filed). Hopefully May 21st will work out just fine.
Heritage's signing has been moved to Monday of next week, and we're still on to see the Sharonville staff at the Blue Goose on Friday. Let's make this one a three-way signing by bringing out Evendale and Stewart, too. Anybody on either of those staffs willing to do the organizing work to get people excited? Heck, I'll promise to buy a drink for the first Stewart and first Evendale person who stops in at the Goose. Just to make it fair, I'll buy one for the first Sharonville staffer, too.
