WHAT IS THE BIGGEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU THINK WOULD BE WILLING TO COME TO CHARLESTON IN EFFECT TO MARCH AGAINST THE PROPOSED TRAIL LINE. 100, 1,000, 10,000, MORE"
We will need some active coordination work to get 1,000. As you know, plenty of property owners have written letters to the PSC. A few hundreds have signed petitions; but, to get them together for a long trip will require a plum at the end of the rainbow, i.e. there needs to be a real payoff at the end..........
We would need a celebrity to make a speech, or do a concert........ The Commissioners of the PSC are not going to be standing on the steps at the Capitol, waiving cheers to the crowd. The Governor will not likely be serving apple cider or handing out picket signs. A tootsie-roll from Bill dePaulo will not draw people from Preston County.
If we can attract a nationally known leader...........Wow, that could be huge.
