I stopped into George's Diner late today to see what progress the petition was making, and since my signing it last Monday, a total of just one individual has added their name. That's terrible progress, and it is doomed to fail at this rate.

Meredith has something like 5500 residents. Both Alton and Gilford have switched over to SB-2, so it is probably doable in Meredith, too.

Maybe trying a different marketing approach is worth a try? How about having some friendly, out-going, energetic person like myself, stand out in front of the Rite Aid with a clip board and a copy of the petition for residents to sign?

Going directly to the residents has got to be more effective than trying to get them to go to the Meredith Center Store or George's Diner. 8 1/2 x 11" hand-out SB-2 info sheets for people who are on-the-fence could be helpfull.

Give me a private message or email, and I'll volunteer a 12 hour shift on Monday, Dec 24, which is probably a busy day at the Rite Aid.
