<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000>Good evening
everyone,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000>The e-mail is to request all of
the hard working individuals who are still collecting signatures to please send
them to me, Skip Greenlaw, PO Box 52, Stonington, Me. 04681, no later than
Monday October 6 so that I shall recieve them no later than Wednesday, the
8th. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000>Please make certain that your
signature has been notarized and that the notary fills in all the required
information, and finally that the town or city clerk validates the
signatures. It is very important that this is done correctly because there
will not be any time to return the petitions for
corrections. </FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000>Lauren, Judy and I are going to
try to finalize everything on the 9th; so we need any outstanding petitions so
we can count them and include them in the filing. The obvious question is
how many signatures do we have, and I honestly do not
know. </FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000> I do know
is that we have more than the 55087 needed to file the petition. We are
waiting on Dick Dyer to get about 1700 more signatures certified. We shall
have in excess of 60000 signatures.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000>If you have not heard, we are
planning to file the petition with the Secretary of State on Tuesday, October 14
at 10 AM in Augusta at the rear side of the Burton Cross State Office
Building. Anyone and everyone who has worked on this effort or who
is interested is invited to come.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000>As soon as we have a final
count, I shall communicate that to you. Thank </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000>you all for the incredible
effort which you have all put forward. The easy part is done; now we must
convince members of the legislature to repeal the law.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT color=#008000>Gratefully,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT
color=#008000>Skip</FONT></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
