I sat down with them and said, 'Listen, what you should do is put together a delegation, and go to the various pockets of volunteers to have them sign petitions, then select a few of them to go to Congress and tell them what they're thinking over here.' I told them that I'd pick up the tab.
I met with them and proposed that they create a group, and then send representatives to gather support from volunteers in different areas, followed by selecting a few to share their views with Congress. I offered to pay for the costs associated with this effort.
