Ladies and gentlemen: It is with TREMENDOUS pride that I announce that, as of 10:00 P.M. on Thursday, October 4, 2001, we have collected 2,372 petition signatures That's 2,137 from Indiana residents and 235 from other states!!!!!!!! Tomorrow morning, I'll be binding these signatures for presentation to Rep. Lytle at Saturday's workshop in Madison. Any additional signatures that come in or that are received at the workshop will be delivered to Rep. Lytle as well, but they won't be in the bound copy. Words cannot express my overwhelming feelings of gratitude for being associated with such a spectacular group of people. You have done an amazing job gathering these signatures and I thank you sincerely for each and every one of them. The top-runner counties were: FLOYD 358 CLARK 260 DELAWARE 225 See http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp/tabulation.html for a county-by-county breakdown. Take a bow, all of you! You deserve it! Jack Briles gets credit for the vast majority of the signatures collected from Floyd and Clark Counties, as well as quite a few from other surrounding counties. I also want to remember to thank Jack for the use of his P.O. box as a collecting point and for his many, many trips to my house to deliver signed petitions. Looking forward to seeing some of you on Saturday in Madison. Lois
