As I'm sure you've seen from the traffic on the site, we're making a big push in the next couple of days to delivered printed copies of the Pickens Pledge petitions to the local campaign offices of the presidential candidates.

http://push.pickensplan.com/events/event/show?id=2187034:Event:1382155

In addition to some of the smaller local offices the candidates have set up, I want to make sure we get the petitions delivered to the state headquarters offices for Obama and McCain in Florida. Obama's state HQ is in Tampa; McCain's is in Tallahassee.

Among the Florida members you've interacted with on Push, are there any folks who come to mind in Tampa or Tallahassee for whom it might be fairly convenient to drop by one of the candidates' HQs?

Thanks,
Gator - Pickens Plan Ambassador
