Subject: [noRNC] RNC Petition: Volunteers to Replant Central Park
Dear New Yorker,
As you know, Mayor Bloomberg, and NYC Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, are saying New Yorkers can't rally against the RNC in Central Park, because a demonstration there would damage the grass.
Let's take this grass issue off the table: let's volunteer to clean up our own mess. We're pledging to give 4 hours of our time to the Parks department, to repair and clean up Central Park if the City permits our rally.
We should also be ready to trade those 4 hours for other jobs, in other parks, sometime in the next year, to offset costs for re-sodding or other specialized repairs in Central Park, which may not be suitable for volunteer labor.
Don't New Yorkers deserve free speech, AND nice parks? It shouldn't be so hard, if we all pitch in.
Click below to sign our petition to Mayor Bloomberg, and pledge to volunteer:
NOTE: Since you are pledging to volunteer, please sign the petition ONLY if you live in the NYC area! If you do not, please forward it to someone who does. Your name and address will not be shared, and will be used only to contact you about volunteer opportunities for NYC parks, if the petition is successful and the RNC rally is permitted.

And don't forget to forward this message! Our goal is 1,000 volunteers, but we're guessing many more will be ready to help. The more volunteers we can offer, the stronger our case will be.
