Exactly how many cards do we need signed?
It has been agreed to by the Organizers that once the drive begins, we will add a weekly update disclosing the number needed to file after subtracting the number of signed cards.
No numbers signed or station breakdowns will be disclosed to prevent those opposing this drive from having information needed to combat the drive.
Once the weekly updates begin I will post here also
We have learned from the past drives that disclosing of some information gives the opposition an upper hand in their communications and strategies.
That being said, all it takes is reading this NMB Documentation
