Decline to Sign at Target
That was an interesting exercise. I just spent two hours meeting people and handing out the flyer on Decline to Sign. There were two signature gatherers there (same two from the last time).
They first tried to say I was with the teachers union and I told them - out of earshot of voters - to NOT say that. They stopped. I didn't hear a lot of what they were saying as it was outdoor and noisy.
Did it help to be there? Absolutely.
The majority of people just walk past the table. Me just handing them a flyer was much easier as I could walk with them and then they had info. The signature gathers only gave out their flyers (I didn't get a copy) IF a person signed the sheet. (They were also gathering signatures for a separate tax initiative. They also mentioned a "privacy" page so people couldn't look up who signed. I thought the court said that was invalid. Anyone?)
