Yesterday I went door to door in my neighborhood circulating a petition in opposition to Obama Care.  The response was great!  During my hour and a half endeavor, I collected 15 signatures, only one person declined to sign.  This is a 94% success rate.  It was truly awesome to see firsthand that my neighborhood was filled with knowledgeable citizens who are as concerned about the course of our country as I am.

In addition to sending a message to Congress, this petition drive provides me an opportunity to meet neighbors I hadn’t known before and chat with them about the state of our country.  It was reassuring to me to discover my views are right in the mainstream of other concerned Americans.  Further, the petition drive enabled me to inform my neighbors that I am running for Precinct Delegate in the Republican Party.  My message to my neighbors is that I will work to change the Republican Party to the Limited Government Party.  This message resonated with all who signed my petition!

I have spoken with others regarding the initial success rate of this petition drive.  I am encouraging all TEA Party groups to join in.  Several colleagues have asked me to post my blank petition form on my blog so that they can use it also.  When you petition your own neighborhood I am confident that you will find the experience as rewarding as I have.  You will get to know your neighbors better and you will find like-minded people who are willing to get involved.  This is what grass roots organizing is all about.
