Hi, John, et al.:


       Sandy reminded me earlier today that he had agreed to draft a 
form containing all our names and space for signatures.  He will send it 
to me.  I will add addresses for all then email it to anyone willing to 
print a copy and collect signatures for us.


       We also need to publish this election, I took care of that on May 
24, as documented in the email to which you replied.  Then after the 
elections, someone needs to inform the Registrar of Voters of the 
results within 4 days (if my memory is correct).


       The wheels are turning but not very fast ;-)


       Thanks for asking.
       Spencer
