Linda's Voting tip for the day

I have been out distributing small "cards" that can "stand up" on a restaurant table to all the local coffee shops and fast food spots in town. So far none has refused and all have taken a poster as well. The cards have very basic info about the Playground & Pepsi project and encourage folks to send us a text while they are waiting for their order. It also directs them to our web site and "daily reminder". You can print the cards us yourself if you get an Avery kit from your local office supply store. Any blank "greeting card" kit will work. Note: directing them to sign up on your mailing list is VERY important. You don't just want one vote--you want them to become a "daily" voter.
