I awoke tonight to 15,000 and am still speechless. I hope Duncan Hunter takes note of how rapidly that happened and presents it to SFC Martland's chain soon. Kudos to FM for posting that link!

I spoke with a friend who's involved with these things, and this is what he told me re: political representative maths.

Each Email = 10 Voters
Each Phone Call = 50 Voters
Each Letter = 100 Voters
Each Visit = 500 Voters

15,000 signatures = 150,000 constituents?

The key is to get it in front of as many representatives, who can leverage its for their campaign or for a political agenda.
