Yes, anyone who has been involved in the CC movement long enough, remembers we battled this early on with merchants. A COMBINATION of folks contacting establishments and presenting their concerns (in a reasonable manner) as well as a good track record being established....resulted in signs coming down fairly quickly. Merchants do not want those big 'honking' signs (especially two of them now) in their store fronts and entrances.Or after a while, more angry people call in complaining about the signs and the signs are no more up.
Yes, there will be ground that will need to be gained back, but we weathered it once, we will need to do so again, but it will be to a lesser degree.
The problem is born of OUR failure to adequately educate the public and businesses about OC and what it IS and ISN'T prior to it becoming law.
