Did anyone else get a letter from the campaign asking for us to get signatures so that Ron Paul can get on the ballot?
It appears we need 10,000 in total and at least 400 from each county. This sounds like it will be one of those easy, but difficult kind of things considering we need 400 each from all counties.
Yes, I got the same letter. Just got started. Blacksburg should be a piece of cake! Good Luck.

We were pushing the deadline back then, so it's not as easy as it sounds.
Making the rounds tomorrow for signatures. I do not have any RP campaign materials, any ideas about what I can give to any interested potential RP voters?
He needs that to get on the ballot for the primary?
Needs signatures... that's why they sent me the forms, etc.
Any downloadable flyers I can give out to prospects as I collect signatures?
sounds to me like ron paul has a back up plan if this is the case;) Plan A the gop wants nothing of it, so gotta have a plan b;) There is only one reason to get on a ballot an indy run if the gop alienates him!!Quote:

States are able to set their own election laws. There are other states that require signatures too.Quote:

Anyone in VA? Not much RP action around here...
I got the petitions, and did some checking. From what I'm told I cannot collect signatures on campus. Think I could just set up a table outside wally world??
Currently I am struggling with laryngitis which isn't exactly helping, but The Ron Paul bumper stickers are going out like candy.
Edit: I was able scan the petitions and create image files. PM me your e-mail if this is practical for a two sided form. Also I wanted to say search for the Ron Paul bumper sticker give away threads, the one I responded to was very generous =)
Here's some:Quote:

I HATE VA!! I live in the united states of colorado!! it is my way of saying f va communistwealth of va! oo sorry if i offended you:) though i did help change some marijuana laws in va before i moved to co and testified in the general assembly:)Quote:

Maybe it IS the Communistwealth of VA afterall, now that I think about it. Wow, RP gave me such an open mind, I'm afaid of what someone will convince me of next!!
Oh, and congratulations on being in Co. I hear its lovely.
You do actually live in Co, right? Or only in your mind?
It's 10,000 for the state and 400 per Congressional District, not county. But you want to aim for 20% more than required 'cuz the establishment pukes at the VA Board of Elections will do what they can to keep RP off the ballot. Last time around they would throw an entire petition out if it had a single mistake on it. That was like 19 signatures out the window for one mistake.Quote:

This is the info for the state director for VA
Announcing Virginia State Director
Announcing the Ron Paul 2012 Virginia State Director, Chris Stearns. It is never to early to get organized. You can contact Chris Stearns at christophers@ronpaul2012.com or 757-513-8232. Chris is looking for volunteers to start organizing at the precinct level.
Sorry for not looking this up (don't have the time right now), but do you have to be a registered Republican to vote for Ron Paul on the March 6th primary?
Well I talked to a gentleman on campus today collecting signatures for Ron Paul :D
This guy?Quote:

NO! In VA we do not register party affiliation. You just have to be registered to participate in any primary. I think you need to be registered by end of January or so to vote on Super Tuesday. Not 100% sure though, so register early just in case, if necessary.Quote:
