I haven't been on Facebook for nearly a decade. I'm only back for one reason and that's to try and reach more people to ask them to sign this petition.
I hope you'll sign and would appreciate it greatly.
We reached 100 signatures recently which isn't a huge number but our success rate is currently one signature for every 10 views. This greatly exceeds the average which is one signature per 25 views. I take this as sign that there's support for this effort but it needs a much broader audience.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Really excited about this wonderful story by the folks at WUSA 9 in Washington DC. We continue to get more buskers signing up every day and hope to have most states covered by Election Day.

This is why we started this effort...to help entertain people while they wait to cast their ballots.
