For lesbian and gay political activists, asking for votes in Bella Vista--a progressive urban community on the edge of south Philadelphia just a stone's throw from the city's main gay neighborhood--is like trick-or-treating in subarbia, and canvassers usually get lots of treats. Three hundred thousand signatures were required to put the initiative on the ballot, and over 360,000 signatures were obtained and validated by the Board of State Canvassers. The Louisiana Bucket Brigade, for example, dropped from three full-time staff and 40 canvassers to two staff and no canvassers. |
