Since Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill was introduced, you've reached millions of Americans through phone calls, mailings, radio and television interviews, letters to the editors, emails, social networking sites, door-to-door canvassing, booths at fairs, gun shows and music festivals, and a host of other local events and activities in communities around the country.
Then we turned up the heat. You put the pedal to the metal, shifted gears and took aim at the Senate.
You made your voices heard loud and clear by calling your Senators and attending Town Hall events, and collected petition signatures for the cause at every possible event. Then on September 15, you hand-delivered thousands upon thousands of petitions to Senators across the country, making S.604 Mass Action Day a resounding success!
To make it interesting, Campaign for Liberty held a competition.
The following individuals gathered the most signatures on petitions in their states. They not only win our respect, gratitude, and admiration, they've won a copy of Ron Paul's new book End the Fed and a pocket Constitution, both bearing Congressman Ron Paul's autograph!
A big shout out to Debi Longarello in Florida, Rob Bulas in Ohio and Brent Roos in Illinois for collecting 1,000 or more petitions!
Please join me in congratulating all of the following Patriots:

And now, for the state that collected the most signatures as a percentage of population:
WASHINGTON STATE
Members gathered a whopping 7,180 unique signatures!
Congratulations to Washington State who wins a $1,500 gift certificate to the Campaign for Liberty store!
Here's how the winner was calculated: Unique signatures gathered divided by total 2008 est. population. The winner is based on percent of total population, which is why Washington State edged out Florida for first place. (Although in some cases, twice as many petitions were actually delivered, unique signatures were used in the actual calculation.)
The state of Minnesota came in second with 3,000 unique signatures!
The state of Michigan came in third with 5,622 signatures!
A special shout out to Florida who gathered the most unique signatures with 10,160!
All of these states deserve a big round of applause for getting over 250 unique signatures on Mass Action Day:

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING S.604 MASS ACTION DAY A BIG SUCCESS!!
Keep up the great work! Let's get a majority in the Senate to co-sponsor!
Stop Spewing Carbon Campaign: http://www.stopspewingcarbon.com The objective of the campaign is to acquire the appropriate number of certified signatures to get a referendum onto the ballot for the Massachusetts 2010 election. Our goal is 80,000 signatures.
This ballot question proposes a change to the law so as to limit the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that biomass plants can emit in order to qualify as "renewable energy" under Massachusetts law. CO2 is the most prevalent greenhouse gas and causes global warming.
CO2 from biomass burning would be limited to 250 pounds per megawatt hour under this petition. Biomass burning releases as much as 3,300 pounds of CO2 per megawatt-hour, more than any other combustible fuel. Compare this to 2,100 pounds for coal, 1,900 pounds for petroleum, and 1,300 pounds for natural gas. Biomass emits approximately 1.5 times as much CO2 as the typical coal plant. Not to mention all the other harmful impacts like dioxin emissions. http://www.maforests.org/, http://www.massenvironmentalenergy.org/
Five proposed biomass burners in Massachusetts (Fitchburg, Greenfield, Pittsfield, Russell, and Springfield) would increase the state's power plant CO2 emissions by 10% but provide only 1% of the state's electricity. There are also plans to convert the coal plants in Salem and Somerset to burn biomass.
A 50 megawatt biomass power plant burns 650,000 tons of wood a year. If all five biomass plants were built, forests throughout Central and Western Massachusetts would be logged in only 9 to 16 years. It's not too late to JUST SAY NO! http://www.maforests.org/Impacts.htm
Under current state law, biomass power plants can burn forests, tires, trash, and construction debris, but qualify as "clean and green" renewable energy under the state's renewable energy laws. http://www.springfieldincinerator.info/
We have just a short time to collect tens of thousands of signatures. Information on this petition effort is available at: http://www.stopspewingcarbon.com . If you see someone collecting signatures in your community, take the time to sign. Your signature could be the one that gets us to our goal. You can also call 1-800-729-1363 to join the Stop Spewing Carbon Campaign and to assist with this effort to place this referendum on the Massachusetts 2010 ballot.
