I support your effort, but I don't know how you could hope to get 50,000 signatures. TSD only has 6,600 members. B&B has 39,000. I'm sure only a fraction of those are currently active, and many of them overlap. Where else will you get those signatures? It is worth a shot, but I'd be amazed if you get 10,000 signatures. And as much as I'd like it to be, I don't think the market is really that strong to support new product lines. We are a very small minority to Gillette, and they know it. I do believe it is growing though, so who knows. Still, good luck!
I do a fair amount of my business at local markets in around my city. I believe the population of Greater Victoria is around 300,000. Try stopping by local hand made markets or events, I'd be more then interested in putting a paper copy on my table at the shows. I'll be at an event in Vancouver in December with a perspective 70,000 visitors, Imagine if that request hit 100,000? Or more? I see people's opinions face to face on an almost daily basis change when they learn about our tradition. I don't think it's an impossible feat at all.
