From what I hear, we're getting very close.

I just don't see that kind of support. More often than not, guys are like me - they filled out a card 3+ years ago and have never renewed it.
We have 5,400+
current cards. I know that disappoints you. Sorry.

I've been halfway toying with the idea of starting a petition, but don't really know how to validate signatures so it doesn't get accused of being rigged.
Good idea. You should do that. Democracy in action.

I think the DPA leaders would honor it, but I'd circulate a petition to not be pressured by anyone and wait until we were assured of winning. If my petition got more votes than yours, would you honor it?
