"I wondered - if there were someone willing to make a large donation for ferret legalization (say $50,000 or even $100,000 usd) what would be the plan to use it? Would you go with improving the public's understanding that ferrets are not a threat to the environment - say over a year using PR and ads, and then do another poll to see if a proposition would be feasible, or would there be some other use of the funds to make legalization more feasible . I don't know enough how these things get put on the ballot, and whether usually people try getting the publics consciousness raised ahead of time. Is there something that can be done to get legislators interested - obviously they cannot be bribed. I am seriously thinking of hitting up a friend who is interested in making an anonymous donation, and maybe matching it myself, but he wants some kind of idea on how/what the money would be spent."
