* Only leave one petition sheet out at a time. Protect the completed ones quite carefully; do not leave them where a passer-by can get to them
* Physically restrain anyone who destroys a petition and find a way to get them arrested if the local goon squad won't do the job (haul them down to the cop shop, call the media, etc.). I believe that destroying petitions is a fairly serious crime.
* These union thugs (cops included) are willing to remove your right to peaceably change the system. What options does that leave you?
- Always have several video cameras on hand.
- Set up petition drives on private property if possible, prosecute trespassers.
