Mysterious Ads for Petition Circulators
This afternoon I noticed that the lampposts, trees, and bus shelters along Connecticut Avenue and some side streets around Van Ness have been blanketed with bright yellow signs reading as follows:
PETITION CAMPAIGN
Earn $500-$100 weekly
Hiring Immediately!!
202-544-6359
Work FT/PT
Citywide Signature Drive - looking for circulators
Requirements:
Must be 18 years or older & eligible to vote in D.C.
Must have valid D.C. ID
The signs are attached with plenty of strong tape to make them hard to remove, and there are many per block. Granted, such illegal postings occur all the time, but this one seems particularly egregious.
Google reveals that the number belongs or belonged to someone named Odell Mcdaniel, but the trail goes cold after that (I’m not a real reporter).
This sounds like the work of the unethical proponents of the unkillable slots initiative, people who never let little things like telling the truth or obeying the law get in the way of attempting to make big bucks at the expense of District residents. If they are the ones behind it, I’d suggest that any circulators demand payment up front, to avoid being stiffed like the homeless people they hired last time around.
