[edit] There is a website organizing the effort, http://www.ohio4ronpaul.com/ [/edit]

Ohio needs some serious help... If they dont get a bunch of signatures and delegates SOON they will not have Ron Paul on the ballot. It seems the national campaign dropped the ball and told us they had it covered when they did not. I am growing more suspect of them often, but I am determined to help get Dr Paul in regardless of a clueless (or worse) campaign staff. Please help spread this message and tell everyone in ohio you can find that they need to help organize something NOW!!!

This is a repost, more (including links to how to help) are here:

We have a tight deadline to meet, we need people to go out every day this week to collect signatures. If we do not do this Ron Paul will not be on the ballot in Ohio. PLEASE READ THIS FIRST POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. MOST QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED IN THIS POST. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO EMAIL OR TALK TO EVERY PERSON INDIVIDUALLY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS. THANKS!

Overview of the petition process and important points
The at large petition are the delegates for the entire state of Ohio. Any registered voter in the state of Ohio can sign the at large petition as long as they do not have a party affiliation of Democrat. Check with the local county BOE to confirm your party affiliation. Each at large petition must only contain signatures for ONE COUNTY.

Someone with a party affiliation of Democrat is neither allowed to sign a petition nor circulate it. Only registered republicans or people not affiliated with a party can circulate and/or sign a petition.

Besides the at large petition, there is a set of petitions for each Congressional district. For each district there is one petition for the delegates and another petition for the alternate delegates. People can sign both. You must be a registered voter in that district to sign a district petition. You cannot be a registered Democrat. Each district petition must only contain signatures for ONE COUNTY. We only have districts 7, 12, and 15 at this point.

You do not need to live in that particular county or district to circulate that petition, you just need to be registered to vote in ohio and not be a Democrat.

If a persons signature is not legible they should also print their name in the signature box

Of course doing this is a good opportunity to give out slim jims too and direct people to visit ronpaul2008.com! Get the phone numbers of supporters and ask them to join our meetup. Tell them you can get them a yard sign, give them a bumper sticker.

You are NOT allowed to sign the same petition that they circulate? You must sign one you didn't personally circulate. Delegates can sign the petition they are on.

I'm 18 and just registered to vote this year. Could I help?

I live in Mason, Ohio, which i believe is warren county.
 
please ohio-ians, let's get this done! is there anything out of state people can do to help?
 
come to find out we do not have all the needed delegates. we were still lacking in some areas. we have, i believe tonight, given the names of enough people to fill all the delegate slots. we hope to have all the petitions complete by tomorrow, and the grassroots is as we speak working on a website to help coordinate the signature process , the site is just a shell now but by morning should be in good shape.

i believe there were some issues, but we have a lot of people focused on this now and working hard on this. check back on the website soon. the grassroots is very dedicated in ohio and we have tons of people who will do anything to get all the signatures needed.
 
fuck, i cant believe we dropped the ball on this... i thought someone was coordinating the petition??? I got an email sometime ago and never heard back from the lady

me getting signatures in Toledo is impossible.... nothing but democrats here

ugh, just what we need... more bumps in the road
 
This is really important. I know we can get it done. I offer all Ohioans moral support from here in California.
 
For two days now I've been collecting signatures here in Columbus. I plan to get signatures everyday. I refuse to give up. This will happen.
 
ok so lemme get this straight...

we need signatures from every single district in ohio? correct?
 
can anyone tell me whats going on in district 9?

i left a message with my meetup group coordinator
 
What the HECK?? How could HQ not have gotten Ron Paul on the BALLOT here in Ohio??? For God's sake, HQ is ridiculous. I'll get on this asap. Jeez.

we need sigs from every district for the district delegates, and then signatures from anywhere for the at large delegates.

registered republicans preferred.
