Someone’s Lucky Day
So someone just knocked on our door collecting signatures to have a public vote on an anti-discrimination ordinance our town recently passed, which says the city won’t discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or HIV status.
Johanna answered the door, and told the person she wasn’t interested in signing. “So you’re ok with the change,” the person asked? “Sure,” Johanna replied.
I hope this person runs into a lot of that, and finds out she’s the one who’s out of step with our commnity, not the city council. And she’ll never know how fortunate she was that my wife answered the door, and not me.
Good for Johanna!
As written, the post is a little unclear that the person soliciting signatures wanted to repeal the antidiscrimination ordinance.Report
Ah, thank you. Yes, to clarify, the person wants to put the ordinance to a vote in hopes of repealing it.Report

Nice.
Do you know the process? Here, it would be collecting signatures from registered voters equal to 10% of the number of voters participating in the last town-wide election; this is a small town, so usually that’s about 60 signatures, not that hard to do. But that does equal a lot of doors shut in your face, too. And there’s always the perverse signatures, those who disapprove and welcome the chance to say so at the ballot box.Report
She claimed they needed 1200 signatures.Report
If they were a bank that would only take about five people.Report
