Tweety & Macca and any body else,
How about a nice petition drive? I would suggest setting up at the post office but we know there is no room.
I bet David at the Bi-Rite would let us set up there or at the Christmas parade Lets bounce this around and see what we could come up with

How's this fellows? The Word file is ready for anyone who would like it emailed to them for further editing!
Petition to Build a New Postal Facility in Stokesdale, North Carolina
Whereas, the Post Office in Stokesdale, North Carolina, postal code 27357, is inadequate in size for the community served, has inadequate parking space for its customers, is located in a crowded and dangerous location for its customers to access, and has inadequate facilities to allow its employees to safely and efficiently perform their jobs, we, the undersigned residents of the Town of Stokesdale and its surrounding postal zone, hereby petition our congressional representatives listed below, to intervene on our behalf with the United States Postal Service in requesting a new postal facility for our community. We invite our congressional representatives to be our guests for a tour of the facilities so that they may see for themselves that conditions described above are true and valid and be certain that their intervention on our community’s behalf is well founded.

| Actually, that copy/paste didn't get all the formatting right, but y'all get the gist. Again, just give me your email address (by private message if you prefer) and I'll send the file to you.

Thanks Possum great work I guess we need one or more contact names one for Rockingham and one for guilford, lets see who pops up. Maybe we need to try to meet and work out all the details Tweety will probably be in here later. I can take pm if people want me to facilitate and arrange a meeting so as to maintain the cloak of their secret ID or I can be e-mailed at JPattaway@bellsouth.net I pledge to maintain any secrect ID. It might be best to just e-mail direct that way nobody has to reveal any thing.

James,
I've sent you an email with the petition attached. Since I am a Rockingham Co. resident I can take that role initially, but I travel for a living and might not be able to attend any meetings Monday through Thursday if that becomes necessary, so we may need to ID another person. I think 'Bama here said he lives on Ellisboro Road, maybe he's in Rockingham and would consider taking on the role? I think this thing might have a chance to work!

Hi Folks,
I think this maybe our best shot yet I have been told that continous political pressure will work and backed up with petitions from people in both counties there is power in numbers and next year is an election year for the House. Also the TC did offer space and a rent break and was rebuffed this should be in a cover letter accomping the petition. Tweety outside th P O would be great also bet we could set up outside at the ballpark. all sorts of places. Possum I am ready to meet on a Saturday to get organized will look at the petition form later today.
Again thanks and united we can and will make a differance!
P S why cant NWO put a spell check on here?

Tweety,
Don't get discouraged by Wentworth's experience. Even though they are the county seat, its very small and the Reidsville, Madison, and Stoneville postal limits come very close to the town keeping the number of people on their postal routes fairly low. Stokesdale on the other hand is growing by leaps and bounds like our neighbors O.R. & Summerfield, both of whom have new postal facilities. If new post offices are justified there they certainly are here. Besides, if we can get a thousand voter signatures on our petition I don't think Ms. Dole or any of the other reps will ignore us. Keep the faith!
