Some Examples of Effective Fraud-Blocking:

We convince one woman to retract her signatures, which by itself is enough to convince this circulator to pack up and leave. Additionally, he has an out-of-state license plate. Any evidence you can gather of out-of-state circulators will help BAMN's effort in challenging signatures should we ever have to get to that phase.See the VIDEO.

Circulators, like exotic plants, can survive only under the most delicate conditions: anyone asserting the truth of what they're circulating makes it nearly impossible for them to gather any signatures. SEE FOR YOURSELF.

Effective fraud-blocking essentially prevents circulators from gathering ANY signatures. At the beginning of this VIDEO, two circulators realize this and run away. We then engage another circulator in debate, completely tying him up and convincing some of them to stop defrauding voters and give over their petitions.

Again, simply asserting to passersby what ACRI circulators are promoting is enough to get them to leave and possibly never circulate the ACRI petition again. Watch ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE. (WARNING: Foul and offensive language.)

1) Refuse to sign the ACRI petition. Refuse to sign any anti-immigrant and anti-Latina/o petitions. Then refuse to sign any of the petitions and let the circulator know that so long as they are circulating ACRI, you will not sign their other petitions and you will tell everyone to do the same. This will discourage the person from circulating ACRI at all. The ACRI petition reads:

"A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO PROHIBIT PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT OR DISCRIMINATION BY STATE GOVERNMENT"

2) Call our Hotline immediately. Let us know the location of the ACRI petition circulator so we can get there right away. Call 602.579.1370. (Program this into your cellphone now.)

3) Tie up their time in debate and tell potential signers “don’t sign for racism and fraud.” Let people know before they sign that the ACRI is:
• a racist initiative that’s for segregation and is supported by the KKK and the Minutemen!
• anti-civil rights and anti-affirmative action.
• against equal opportunity for women and minorities.

4) Become a volunteer organizer. Spread the word. Help build our network of ACRI petition circulator blockers. To attend a training session, please call 602.579.1370.
