*** Promise ALERT! ***
Tuesday, December 2, 1997
Remember I told you that *every single signature* would count?
We just got back from adding up, then re-adding up all of our signatures. We need 64,928 to declare
a success.
No matter how we added, our current total comes to 64,284.
That's a mere 644 short of a success -- short by less than 1 percent of what's needed!
We've been calling around, scrambling to find those 644 signatures somewhere. We found 30 in
Longmeadow that the clerk failed to give to our driver when he picked up supposedly *all* our
petitions, another 27 in Westminster, etc., and will be sending drivers out there in near panic
tomorrow morning to get them.
We need you to call your city or town clerk and *make sure" they *absolutely* have no letter *I*
petitions left in their possession -- even though our drivers' have been there and were supposed to
have been given *all* of our petitions.
If there are *any* of our letter "I" petitions out there, we need to have them in Boston no later
than 2:00 PM tomorrow.
We will file the petitions we have with our 64,284-plus certified signatures with the Secretary of
State tomorrow at about 4:00 PM -- then if necessary launch an expensive and onerous challenge of
some of the clerks' signatures certification. We want to avoid that if all possible and if there's any
chance to.
Please, call your city or town clerk. If they have *any* of our letter "I" tax rollback petitions and
you can't pick them up and bring them to our Boston office or my Peabody apartment, call us ASAP
at (617) 248-0022. If there's *any way* humanly possible that we can get to them, we will.
We need *just 1 percent* more!
Thanks,
Chip Ford --
