The Plan

I must admit my interest is peaked, as to how this signature drive is going to be pulled off. I understand them being secretive, about the way it's going to happen. When the powers that be, get wind of these plans. They have a way of squashing them. Everything up until this point, has ran into a brickwall. Like the park issue, and the charter commision. They didn't have the expected results.

I have come up with two ideas as to how this might be done. I have been picking my brain, to figure this riddle out. We have to be focusing on a large event, if an event is what it is. At first I thought about the super bowl and all the parties. Then I figured that's a festive atmosphere, not serious enough. Fifty thousand people is a lot of signatures. They specified they needed 400 volunteers. That's 125 signatures apiece. In my opinion that is where this plan unravels. I don't think they'll get the volunteers. That gave me a starting point. Where will these volunteers encounter this many people? If they are required to gather the signatures themselves. Then I thought about it. The place you will surely be able to find 50,000 disgruntled, possibly misinformed voters. Is at MLGW payment centers, after they pay their light bills. Chances are the 400 volunteers will be there too. Even if they don't take time to vote. They have to go there. I thought this might be a wash, but then I thought about that also. Some of these stipulations may not be definite. That could be just to throw everyone off.

The next idea requires financing, that makes it a bit of a long shot. Considering those who we know are involved. I can't see them footing the bill, for this whole recall petition on their own. That would be totally out of character. Their motivation is to make money, not to spend it. Not that I blame them for being capitalistic. That's the Americam way. Their supporters must know that though, to really be objective. At some point this is going to cost somebody something. My next idea involves the newspaper, namely the " Commercial Appeal". It would be the only local paper that has a large enough circulation. To reach that many people in a single day. Any message circulated through the newspaper is going to carry a hefty pricetag. I wonder who would want the mayor out of office that bad. To take this burden on themself ? If they circulate the petition in the newspaper. They would reach the required number for sure. The 400 volunteers would collect the filled out forms.

I just posted my ideas so they would be recorded. I often see things before they happen. With this blog, I can have them written down somewhere. I may change my mind before it happens. That's my perogative, the organizers of the recall do. Since this recall issue started, the mode of attack has changed a couple of times. Or could this be a case of where the left hand doesn't know, what the right hand is doing. Remember the charter commision. The organizer Mr. Lundt of Germantown, pitted opponents against the very ones he used to gather the necessary signatures. For the time being, this is what I think. Like everything else that hasn't already been done. It remains to be seen.
