Is there an electronic version available that we can print ourselves? If not, can someone scan one?

We're in panic mode here. Our regional coordinators aren't keeping in touch, and HQ hasn't sent the forms out to anyone in our 4 meetups. We have a meeting tonight and half the people coming are coming just to sign and help circulate the petitions. We can't not have the forms.

we were told that the stuff would be mailed to us over a week ago... Nothing.

Our meetup organizer and county coordinator emailed the state director from HQ, but no reply...

Frustrating.

This was the main thing we discussed at my local meetup. In Lancaster County 25 local meetup members are starting today to get a minimum of 20 signatures, while piggy backing our signature petitions for our delegates as well. Ron Paul only need 2,000 signatures from this state which means our little county will have 1/4 of that at least done and turned in next Monday. I'm not sure if you can just print them out anywhere because there are many strict rules that need to be followed for this process. I suggest having your meetup organizer contact HQ and get some of these petition slips and get them quick. Today is day one of getting these signatures and people can only sign for as many candidates as they can vote for(1 presidential candidate and 3 delegates).

Mods,

Please sticky this. PA is getting no help from HQ. Can anyone help them to get HQ to respond.

Time is critical.

Let's not let PA screw up, we have some time to make this good. The OP does not have time, is there any help out there?

Are these petitions for getting RP on the ballot? If so, you should be able to get them from your state republican party.

Also check your local meetup and piggyback your efforts with getting signatures for delegates as well. As I stated earlier PA only needs 2,000 signatures for Ron Paul whereas in the past, persons in my area running for county office needed tens of thousands. There is a very good chance that the meetup in Lancaster County PA, along with nearby Chester County's group, will have almost half of those required signatures notarized and turned in a week from now if not all of them. Don't let that stop you from getting signatures, because I believe the goal is 6,000 signatures in the case that some get thrown out for one reason or another. I don't think you can copy or print these from a home computer, but I could be wrong on that. I believe the petitions handed out were received from someone official.

I requested forms 5 days ago so I'll start when they get here only have like 9 days to do this. We will need to get at least 3,000 in case some signatures our challenged.

2000 total for all of PA. However, HQ is recommending 6000 statewide so we have all our bases covered.
