If you may be in contact with some individuals through means besides the internet, you are more than welcome to print out the following business card and share it with such individuals. It will remind them of the basic idea (which you can first yourself introduce to them) after they have talked with you, and also will give them the website if they wish to participate--if they are at all able to do so and are so inclined--in the on-line campaign.
(See also the Brochure or Petition sections.)
(If you collect your recipient's contact information (address, email address and/or phone number), you can also ask whether they are willing for you to contact them in the future to see how their work is progressing. If each "generation" makes such a confirmation with the next, we should be able to ensure that branches of the "tree" passing on the idea are not broken off by negligence.)

"If you have access to the internet, please visit our website at http://www.onetongue.com .
