We are SO close to reaching our goal, and with just over two weeks until the first convention begins. The level of support for this campaign continues to surpass our wildest expectations. People from all walks of life -- all across the country and from every political faction imaginable -- have heard our call to restore our democracy by placing the power back in the hands of the voters, and not the parties. For the next two weeks, we will be staging canvassing events across the country, and are asking anyone interested in our movement to create their own petitioning events (http://www.openprimaries.org/upcoming_events) and get people organized in their local communities. The petition and all other volunteer resources that you might need are available in our volunteer toolkit (http://www.openprimaries.org/open-the-doors-toolkit). During Independence Day weekend in particular, we are hoping to ramp up our signature total with a concerted petition drive across the country, led of course, by our valiant volunteers. Please, take a look at this weekend's events here (http://www.openprimaries.org/upcoming_events), create your own, and get your friends and family mobilized around the issue. Let's restore our democracy in honor of the anniversary of our independence! Join us this weekend, and over the next two weeks, as we fight to restore power to the voters. Thank you, Al Benninghoff Legislative Director Open Primaries
