TRUSSVILLE — A group is collecting signatures for “Ben Carson For President” at First Baptist Church Trussville today from 11:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.
The organization began in August 2013 by John Phillip Sousa IV and Vernon Robinson. Since that time, the cause has garnered more than 100,000 individual donors that have contributed more than $10.5 million.
The group has 21,700 volunteers that have collected more than 400,000 signatures. The goal is one million.
The goal is to encourage Carson to run for president in 2016.
Carson spoke at the Alabama Policy Institute last year.
