They’ve convinced 21,678 people to sign their petition in the two weeks that they’ve had the petition booklets; they need another 50,000. The group has an army of volunteers and paid professionals across the state and in other states in the country, gathering signatures on the petition booklets.

Petitioners have been reported cruising the aisles of Walmarts, inside of post offices (Homer, Girdwood), and inside the state-owned State Libraries Archives and Museum (SLAM) building in Juneau over the past two weeks.
