Hi Jake,
There was the suggestion of a petition to the company and someone mentioned
petitioning parents. One thing that came to my mind is trying to collect
signatures at or around the Legoland theme parks and Lego retail stores. I
imagine that might give the petition added credibility. Anyway, one of my
questions to you is how could or should someone go about petitioning
customers of Legoland and Lego retail stores?
In general, I believe that petitions are supposed to be conducted on public
property and permission must be obtained from the government.

I could be wrong but it was my understanding (as a former petitioner for the
Libertarian Party) that if you are on public property, permission is not
required. However, you can be asked to leave if you are disruptive (block
pedestrian flow, harangue people, etc...) If you are on private property,
permission is required, but it’s from the owner of the property, not the
government.

Beyond that, is
there any information you could provide as far TLC’s policies for something
like this? Do think TLC would have any interest in facilitating AFOL’s
efforts to survey/petition fellow Lego customers/consumers? Or, given that
this IS an effort to change a corporate decision, is TLC more inclined to
block such efforts? Suggestions?
|
I think a number of people in TLC might be quite bemused by the request to
petition. I would emphasize that it’s meant in good spirit. Still, if it were
perceived as likely to cast TLC in a bad light, they might be inclined to say
no. (the second order effect of the PR around it getting out they said no might
be something to remind them of if they did indeed say no).
Structuring it in a way that didn’t disrupt operations of the store or park or
whatever would be key in any proposal for permission, I would expect.
| |
Overall, I don’t know how successful a petition to a corporation would be but
I guess it can’t hurt to try as long as it’s done right. Anyway, I appreciate
all the work you’ve done so far and your willingness to do more.
|
Second that sentiment.
