"They see a Convention as a legitimate and needed avenue for their voices to be heard. With Rhode Islanders this obviously incensed and hungry for a solution, our Center recommends that voters approve Question-3 on the ballot in next month's election."
The forum featured anti-tax crusader, Grover Norquist and former RI gubernatorial candidate, Ken Block.
The poll of over 500 likely voters was conducted by Communication Concepts of Easton, PA.
A white-board video, in response to the union sponsored "no" video, along with other digital ads can be viewed at RIFreedom.org/YesConCon.
Specific poll results for top-line questions can be found on the Center's Convention home page here.
