Quite frankly, our most compelling, passionate, heartfelt speeches in support of an ordinance won't mean much without visible proof that this is something that people in Pierre want. If we have the Commission room packed - and by packed I mean standing room only, overflow into the hallway, out to the sidewalk full - that will speak more loudly than anything I or anyone else can say.
We need you to fill the room. We need you to make the visible, tangible, irrefutable statement that people support this ordinance. You don't have to come to the podium as your presence will speak volumes.
Bring the kids. If they can sit through a church service, they can sit through a Commission meeting. Feed them a piece of fruit and glass of milk beforehand since dinner will be late. It will be a good lesson about standing up for what you believe as well as a good civics lesson.
Bring your friends. Bring your family. Remind them to the point where you feel you are seriously endangering the quality of your Christmas present. Text, email, Facebook.
This won't happen without you. I'm not being dramatic. I'm stating a fact. If you support an ordinance, you will need to show up.
