GE - Polling form for the Stargate Baronial Succession

[Michael Tucker]

Unto the populace of Stargate including her Cantons of Gate's Edge and Westgate
Come warm greetings from Michael Silverhands and Neassa the Obstreperous,
Baron and Baroness of Stargate:

The time for polling the populace to recommend our successors is fast
approaching. We encourage all of you to take advantage of this opportunity to
make your wishes known to the Crown.

All polls, whether cast in person at Populace or through one of the other
methods described below, MUST be received no later than July 3rd. If you miss
this deadline, your missive will be considered but will not be tallied.

For those of you who are unable to attend that meeting, you have three options:

PROXY
First, you may fill in this form and give it to Baron Michael or Baroness Neassa
in a sealed envelope by 6pm, Monday, July 3rd. Please do not give it to anyone
else. Please call them at (713) 983-9597 to arrange to deliver your poll to
them. We caution you not to trust your missive to the mail - His Highness MUST
receive it at Monday night's meeting. Please note that those who poll early MUST
fill in the form completely and sign their form.

EMAIL
Second, you may email your choices to Their Majesties and Their Highnesses.
Their addresses are <crown at ansteorra.org> and <sirtimo at hotmail.com>. Please
answer all questions on the form and send your email to both addresses no later
than July 3rd. Please do NOT post your poll to any mailing lists. (Be careful
with that "Reply" button!)

PHONE
Finally, you may call Their Highnesses at home at (817) 457-8546, up to and
including July 3rd. Please do not call after 10 pm. We request that you use this
option only if the other two are not possible for you. We realize that this is
extremely important, and we want everyone to have the opportunity to be heard,
however, please be kind to Their Highnesses, and leave Their phones as free as
possible so that They may continue to attend to the rest of the Kingdom as well.

If you have any questions about this form or the polling process, do not
hesitate to contact either of us.

Yours in service and with love,
Michael and Neassa

p.s. The form below is a "plain text" version of the form which is published in
the Two Towers and which will be used for the "in person" poll. Except for
formatting, they are exactly the same. You don't need to print this out if you
are planning to attend the polling; we will provide you with a spiffy form at
the polling. There will be plenty of copies for everyone. :-)
