Santee PetSmart Last Minute Signature Gathering

January 13th, 2010

We REALLY Need Help This Weekend – Last Minute Signature Gathering Effort
I apologize for sending out three emails in three days on this subject – but we’re making progress with our signature gathering effort this weekend in front of the Santee PetSmart-

We will be there from 9 to 5 both Saturday and Sunday. The goal is to get 500 signatures asking 77th District Assemblyman Brian Jones to sponsor a ferret legalization bill. The bill has to be introduced by January 28th or we are out of luck for another year. We’ve worked really hard to find a sponsor without any luck so far.

Santee, CA 92071

We’re hoping this show of grassroots support will convince him to do it. We were able to borrow this ferret costume and he or she will be holding a sign:

We’ll have a table and chairs, I’ve got lots of clipboards, literature, I’ll bring the calendars, Jami is going to try to bring balloons. I’m hoping it will be festive. Feel free to make your own signs and bring them.




Ideally, we’d like at least three people there at a time – with one in the ferret costume. Are there any hams among us? (you need to be on the smaller side to fit into the costume – how about drafting your kids?)



If we can fill up the schedule – so far with only two people (?!) I’ll invite the media and see if we can get some press coverage. I wouldn’t be surprised if a TV station or newspaper covered the event. That will really drive the message to Assemblyman Brian Jones.
Can you spare an hour or two this weekend? For the little guy?!



Please call me and take a slot.
