Put next Saturday's community event on your Facebook page. Make it an event. Tell people we'll have food and games and petitions. Direct 'em to either Summit Park or Washington Park (We promise that we'll know which by the end of the day Monday). Tell everybody you know that you're going to be there.
That last part is key. We want your friends there. We want your family there. We want your neighbors there. But we need you there, because if those people know you're going to be there, they're a lot more likely to actually show.
We'll be at the park from 12-5 next Saturday (5/21), so work around your kid's baseball games, your aunt's birthday, your lawn cutting, your whatever else you have planned for the what'll hopefully be a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, because when it comes right down to it, there isn't much that you could have planned that is more important than the future of your job, your retirement, the middle class, Ohio's kids, Ohio's economy, Ohio's future.
Because, in the end, Senate Bill 5 is an attack on every one of those.
If you want to take the soft sell route, then tell people about coming out and spending a beautiful afternoon with the Princeton community. (Though we'll be there rain or shine...)
If you want the hard sell, then tell 'em about the ruination of Ohio's schools, Ohio's unions, Ohio's economy, Ohio's future if theirs - if yours - is the one signature that we don't get and that we needed.
Either way, be there on Saturday.
Oh, if you really want to make us happy, tell everybody else around here that you've put the Glendale park event on your Facebook page. Take a screencap (how to do that on Windows and a Mac) and email it to paceforkids@gmail.com
