SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY

There are only two kinds of initiatives, those that get on the ballot and those that don’t!  We want to be the first!

Dear SCAT Troops and Supporters,

    Under blazing Friday the 13th hot skies we had an excellent campaign rollout!  Below picture taken as the sign-in portion of the event started.  

     Business was brisk and we blew through 500 of our petitions within 15 minutes.  Had a great turnout in both paid and volunteer signature gatherers, the enthusiasm for this issue remains unabated. 

     Special thanks to Autumn, handling gatherer sign-ins, Ed and his special gal, logistics and documenting, Bud, he says he can get a 1,000 signatures a day, easy, Dorli, always ready to lend a hand and support wherever needed, Keith, keeping track of the dollars, and thanks to the big guy, Dick - inventor of the 8' towering tunnel killer signature boards!

    Loved our eye-catching color combos for the kiosks, shirts, the red and yellow accented with black and white - Who says politics can't be fashionable?   Works for me!  

    Planted half of our signature kiosks today after our kickoff event, Ballard, QA, and Magnolia, check the website for locations, will be updated every day by 6:00 pm. 

    Next week by Friday we will have set out 25 of our signature kiosk stands. 

    Starting Monday, August 23rd, our counter signature boards will be ready.  They are being donated by a very generous individual - he's personally making them even.  They stand upright and take up less counterspace than if we were to have a board set out on a counter.  Can't wait to roll those out. 

    Our goal for the counter boards is to get 50 out, please send us locations that you think will work in your neighborhood. 

    Kiosks are also available for checkout.  If you have a spot you'd like to put a kiosk out at and are willing to monitor it, please let drop a note so we can get that arranged.

    Finally, money, need money to keep things running.  I mentioned our drive to get $5,000 by next Friday, August 27th.  Your help has been invaluable, we are 1/3 of the way towards raising that.  Please dig deep and also do some outreach with your friends and neighborhood acquaintances.  If you like and appreciate our past, current, and future efforts on behalf of Seattle taxpayers, please send us a donation for $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or more (there are no limits on how much can be given).    Please consider a monthly pledge from now through November for our fund.  We ask you to please help us help Seattle residents and businesses avoid having their freedom of mobility severely curtailed and their hard earned money wasted on this money pit to nowhere, "the deep bored tunnel". 

    You can go to our website -- www.scatnow.com -- and make a secure PayPal or VISA or MasterCard contribution -- OR, you can print out the form below, fill it out, and return it with a check or credit card information.

Thanks again for being part of this history making campaign in Seattle.

Best Regards,

Elizabeth
