Free Speech Seattle is conducting a petition drive to overturn the City's ban on public posters. Initiative Measure No. 46 directs the city council to strike out "light and utility poles" from the types of city-owned structures where posters and flyers are not allowed. If 19,000 valid signatures are gathered by August 24, the City Council will have 45 days to enact the new ordinance, or put it on the ballot at the next general or special election. Free Speech Seattle is seeking volutneers to collect signatures and otherwise help out. Contact Free Speech Seattle, at (206) 781-7371; www.freespeechseattle.org. Meetings are held every Saturday at noon at the Hi Score Arcade, 612 E. Pine.
