The three plan to circulate their petition during the Graduate School's Legislative Day today, which teaches advocacy techniques to social workers from around the state.

Khaja has not set a goal for the petition drive, and the three proponents have not decided when to send out the signatures, but they plan to mail it "Time is of the essence when someone's life is hanging in the balance." Middleton said. The School's efforts will not stop with the petition. A letter attached to the petition asks for advice from Aminu.
