  1. I was there Saturday. I was surprised that as many people showed up. I was expecting a crowd, but wow!! We estimated that between 1500 and 2000 attended the rally! I was coordinating getting the written signatures for the petition from those who didn't have internet services or didn't want to sign the online petition. Also I was keeping up a running total of both online and written signatures. Total number of signatures from both sources exceeded 7000+. We are presenting the petition to the Alamance Board of Commissioners this evening at 7:00p.

  2. Just got back from the meeting a little bit ago. We hand delivered 8200+ petition signatures. The commissioners surprised me tonight. Before anyone could get up and talk about the monument, the commissioners held a vote to keep or move the monument. It was passed 5-0 to keep the monument. They did let the speakers have their say though.
