Nearing 2000!

Last night, I took a look at the petition and was like, "Hey, we are up to 1700. Cool."

This morning, I took a look and was like, "Whoa, we're over 1800. What happened?"

Then, I took a look at my email and my sister had written to let me know there was a screenshot of the petition on the front page of the Living section in the Tennessean. Having just gone to the website, we are also on the homepage of the online version.

[Update: As of the afternoon, it was moved to the the living section online.]

THANK YOU, TENNESSEAN!

Now, a few hours later, we are approaching 2000!

I was recently considering cancelling my subscription to save some bucks, since we get it at the office, too. You've just saved yourself at least one subscriber!

Where should we publicize this petition?

Let's make distribution of the Tear Off Posters and Palm Cards a priority. Where do you think they should go?

Over the course of the next week, I plan to saturate the East Nashville and Inglewood area businesses and the Vanderbilt Campus with these things. I've got general ideas like Green Hills and Hillsboro Village, but would love specific suggestions.

Where else should they go? I have lots of "propaganda" already printed and ready for distribution.

I would love to make contact with folks like those from Nissan that have lots of transplants to the area in order to help you spread the word at your respective locations.

I'd also love to touch base with folks in some of the outlying areas like Franklin, Cool Springs, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, etc. (please take no offense if your area wasn't listed!) to see if you could do some simple distribution in your area.

I'm also hoping to get a press release out this week. I've already touched base with a couple of reporters, so we'll see.

We've gotten over 600 signatures in 6 days. That's pretty cool!
