It continued:

We’re surveying our supporters about this issue and would like to know if you think the speech is a good idea or a bad idea. Take the survey by March 1 and share it with your network on Facebook and Twitter.

“What’s your opinion? We want to know. Take our poll, then share and retweet it to your social network.”
