Grace,
We are very close to our goal of getting Ron Paul on the ballot here in the Hoosier State. As many of you know the deadline for filing signatures for verification is noon, Tuesday, Feb. 12. Then they will return the forms to us so that Ron can file his candidacy (CAN-7) by noon, Feb. 22. Signatures for every district in Indiana are currently at or on their way to election offices throughout the state.
Though we have enough signatures to meet the minimum in every district we would like to add a buffer to our numbers that will ensure a Ron Paul ballot placement. We would like to get another 150 signatures in districts 1 and 2 or if you have signatures on hand you haven't sent to me (John Downey) please let me know. We have a goal of another 150 signatures to get and a little under 2 weeks in which to do it.
If you have never seen a CAN-8 form you fill in Ron Paul as the name, Texas as the state of residence, and check the Republican box. Then when you find someone willing to sign the petition you just need to make sure they sign the sheet for their county.
The proper procedure for having CAN-8 forms verified is to take them to the the County Clerk's office for the county the signees reside. They will then arrange with you on how and when you can pick them up. The county will return to you the form with backside filled out with the number of good signatures.
Once you have forms verified send me an email at
[email protected] and we'll discuss how we are going to get them with the CAN-7 form.
