They’re not paid to tell you the truth. They’re paid to get you to sign, by any means necessary.I’m frustrated because this is a corruption of our democracy. Gathering signatures should represent grassroots support and put a check on the powers that be. Instead, it’s being co-opted by those powers, which are paying to re-roll votes and legislation that don’t go their way. Though I am disgusted by how Gov.
