Good morning! Our final count is 16,356 supporters in 8 days, a truly amazing figure! And it is certainly a statement of our resolve to fight to be able to effectively defend ourselves and others, wherever we may be! I started this petition thinking,"well, I'll start it and if it gets to 1000 supporters, I'll email it to the Governor." Now, with over 16,000 supporters, I basically have a whole logistics team to working with to figure out the best way to get it to Governor Christie! The petition is over 400 pages long, single spaced. I am in contact with a couple of assembly members through different channels and will determine the best route to the Governor's desk over the next couple of days as I print and package the petition for delivery. A lot of people have expressed their gratitude to me for having started this petition. I have to say, all I did was think up the idea and press the go button, YOU ALL shared and shared. YOU found ways around the attempts by Facebook to block our efforts. YOU talked to friends and family and spread the word. All I did was type up a statement. Each and every one of you who signed the petition and shared the heck out of it deserve the thanks. And, if someone in Trenton actually listens to our voices, if by some miracle, we are able to affect change, you have no one to thank but YOURSELVES. Take care everyone and have a Happy Thanksgiving. I will keep you updated as the journey continues. Chris
