Question

HI everyone, maybe someones a go getter or political who can send me in the right direction.. i know its winter but my neighborhood seems to have alot of litter and trash strown about, its embarassing and un-nerving.. there are a couple of businesses whos lots are just awful, i wont even shop there, now i live in a nice neighborhood so its heartbreaking to see such disrespect for it.. ive called the city, ive contacted the news.. ive tried everything i know, even emailing the mayors office and sending letters, i was thinking maybe a petition in my community to help hold businesses accountable for their protperty and the upkeep.. any suggestions .. please!!!!!!!!! does anyone know how to get a petition going?

Answer 1

I would start with city/town hall. Starting a petition starts will the problem, about 1 paragraph, anything more people probably won't read. Then you pass it around to try to get as many signatures that you can, after you have the majority of the signatures in your area, then take them to the city/town hall, if they don't listen to you, then I would send it to the Governor of your state.
