On April 22nd from 7-8 p.m. we’ll be hosting a Petition Circulator event. We’ll be meeting at Sweetwater’s Cafe on Plymouth Rd. All who are interested in circulating petitions are welcome to attend. Here’s a copy of the email invitation I sent out:
Hi,
I’m writing to invite you to circulate petitions for GO Ask Voters. Before I get down to details, I have some great news to share. The GOAV petition and petition language were vetted by both the Ann Arbor City Attorney, as well as the Michigan Attorney General’s Office. Both offices did so as a courtesy, and I’m pleased to tell you that the petition and the language passed with flying colors. We were not asked to make any changes in the petition or the petition language. We asked for this informal review to make sure that the petition format (some aspects of which are mandated by state statute) and language would be acceptable to the Ann Arbor City Clerk when submitted.
As a result, we will begin the process of collecting signatures from registered voters in Ann Arbor this week. To do this, we need YOUR help!! Can you collect 60 signatures total?
If most of our signature collectors can meet this simple goal, in November Ann Arbor voters will have an opportunity to decide whether to amend the City Charter to require voter authorization of GO Municipal Bonds. If you can collect more than 60 signatures, wonderful. If you can collect fewer, no worries. This is a drive to collect one signature at a time, and every signature from a registered voter in Ann Arbor counts.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR: PETITION CIRCULATOR KICK-OFF MEETING, April 22nd
We are having a meeting on Wednesday April 22nd from 7-8 p.m. at Sweetwater’s Cafe (3393 Plymouth Road), in the Plymouth Green Crossings mall, near U of M North Campus. There, we will do a short training, distribute petitions, clipboards and answer your questions. If you want to circulate petitions, but can’t come to meeting, email me and I’ll make sure you get your materials this weekend.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR: PETITION SHEET TURN-IN HAPPY HOUR, May 14th
We’ll have Petition Circulators Happy Hour every other week beginning Thursday, May 14th at 6 p.m. At these Happy Hours, you can turn in your signed sheets, find out how the drive is going, have a drink and chat with other GOAV supporters.
Best wishes,
Patricia Lesko
for GO Ask Voters
