Attention Virginia Supporters

[tiffanyras]

ATTENTION VIRGINIA SUPPORTERS:

We've got a ballot petition emergency going on. Ron is not on track to get the 10,000 signatures that he needs just to get on the primary ballot! Every Virginia supporter needs to collect, notarize, and send in at least one petition form. For the form and instructions, go here: http://www.paulspetition.com/ or contact your local MeetUp.

If he's not on the ballot, we can't vote for him! This is your chance to directly help the campaign!

Thanks

Are we falling behind in specific congressional districts or is it all over? How many signatures do we currently have?

 

[shepburn]

we have like 4000. we are in need of 10000. This sucks!!

 

[DeadheadForPaul]

3 questions

1.) when is the deadline
2.) i thought all candidates in the dems/repubs automatically got on
3.) shouldnt the campaign be hiring people to do this since we just droppd 7 mill on their plate?

I thought I was done with ballot access bs when i left the LP. guess not

 

[ronpaulfan]

No offense, but WTF?

How is it humanly possible this is the first time we're hearing of this?? Who is running the Virginia grassroots? Fred Thompson??

 

[ronpaulfan]

And no, I will not retract that

 

[bbachtung]

The campaign should hire some signature gatherers to supplement the excellent work of the grassroots.

Most of us now know that in order for Ron Paul to be included on the ballot for the Virginia primary election on February 12, 2008, at least 10,000 signatures of registered voters must be filed with the State Board of Elections no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 14, 2007. Although only 10,000 signatures are required, we've been advised to collect at least 20,000 and preferably 30,000 signatures from registered voters to make sure we have sufficient valid ones.

If you live in Northern VA - and you have been living under a rock the past month - look at my signature - then PM me.

Thank you.

Campaigns usually pay groups who specialize in signature procurement for these things. If things arn't up to speed they can do that.

Even if not all of the signatures are collected, it's possible that RP may be let in anyway assuming he's polling high by then and the GOP of VA consider him "well-known" enough to get auto placement on the ballot, big if though.

I don't think that Virginia has a "well-known" placement mechanism. I think that the ONLY way to get on the presidential primary ballot is via the petition process.

Methinks a sticky is in order.

Wow... I can't believe this, get crackin' peeps! If your in Virginia and you haven't been out getting signatures/on the streets, get off your A's!

this is not easy, here in Illinois, people say they will show and don't.

Illinois and Virgina are the two hardest states. We need major, major help in both places. Illinois might be the harder of the two as you need delegate slates in each congressional district.

DONT STRESS.

We only had 200 last week when the deadline for ours was Monday. We brought in 2500 with little relative effort in a week or so. VA is much larger and can do it much easier.

Yeah but it seems like we need 400 from each district. Not much, but if we don't have supporters in each we might have to do some traveling.

Their headquarters is in Arlington, VA, there isn't an excuse for HQ to not be on this...

Since you are in NVA, have you stopped in HQ to speak with them about this?
