Then help me get 40 more sigs from Californians so Brian Moore of the SPUSA can get "official write-in status" on the CA ballot.
The deadline to mail these things in is Friday morning *at the latest*. So you better get going!
Here's the info...
Voting Socialist on Nov 4th? Well it's not going to COUNT unless...
...Brian Moore and the SPUSA get "official write-in" status on the California ballot.
Hi guys,
I emailed the SPUSA to see if Brian Moore and the Socialist Party USA would be on the California ballot in the upcoming election. A woman named Tina replied that no, he wouldn't, and he wouldn't even have "official write-in" status unless we got 40 more notarized signatures (55 are needed, and they have 15). If he doesn't get official write-in status, you can write him in all you want, but your vote won't really be counted!!
40 sigs might not sound like a big deal at all, but getting the forms notarized is a hassle. It requires going to a bank or a government building. Local banks will notarize forms sometimes. But if you go that route, then it would be a good idea to call the bank you have in mind first and make sure they do it.
I'm messaging all facebook Brian Moore supporters who are from California. If we could each get 1-3 of these notarized forms (including yourself! so just 0-2 others), then BRIAN MOORE WOULD HAVE OFFICIAL WRITE-IN STATUS ON THE CALIFORNIA BALLOT IN THIS ELECTION. Trippy huh?
Tina is mailing the forms in on Oct 20th. So you have to get them to her by then. That means you'd better mail them in to her, signatures and all, by THIS FRIDAY or sooner. If you miss mail pick-up on Friday, you'd better get to a Post Office before they close, for any hope of getting the forms to her by Monday the 20th.
How awesome would it be if a bunch of students used Facebook to literally get a candidate official write-in status on the ballot of a HUGE state in a national presidential election??! It would be seriously fuckin' cool! Our guy doesn't have the money, doesn't have the major party backing, doesn't have the corporate party backing. So we as socialists cannot realistically expect to do as little work as the supporters of the big guys can do (walk in on election day, punch a hole, walk out). Put in this little extra effort and we can raise Brian Moore's national status! California is a big state and would be a big victory.
***HERE IS THE LINK TO THE NOTARIZED SIGNATURE FORM***:
http://www.spmichigan.org/caform.pdf
***HERE IS TINA'S ADDRESS...YOU MAIL IT TO HER WHEN IT'S DONE***:
Tina Phillips
1137 Walpert Street #41
Hayward, CA 94541
***HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS TINA GAVE ME FOR FILLING IT OUT***:
1. On the top line ("my name is") the elector should write his/her full name.
2. On the second line ("my address is") the elector should write his/her house number and street.
3. On the third line, the elector should write his/her city, state, and zip code.
4. On the fourth line (before "for president of the United States") the elector should write "Brian Moore."
5. On the fifth line (before "for vice president of the United States" the elector should write "Stewart Alexander."
6. On the sixth line after the word "I," under "Oath of Office," the elector should write his/her name.
Then the elector, (hopefully you!), takes the form and brings it to a Notary Public. It has to be notarized in order to count. Many local banks do this for free!
7. On the seventh line, the elector should sign it only with the notary present so that the notary can notarize his/her signature ("Signature of Presidential Elector").
8. The remaining lines: "County of," "Before me this," "Day of," "20," and "Notary Public (or election official)" are for the notary to fill out, not for the elector to fill out. The notary will also stamp it with his with his/her notary seal.
Then take it and mail it.
------------------------------------------
I don't really know anything more than what I've told you here. But if you have questions, you can email Tina at [email protected] Or if for whatever reason you want to email me I'm at [email protected], but Tina is the one with the 411.
ALSO, please do me a favor and shoot me a reply to this facebook message if you plan on getting signatures, and the number you plan on getting... I want to know if we are going to succeed!
Good luck guys,
P.S. - the signatures only count if they are from California residents. So you're only getting this if you live in CA. Make sure all your signatures are from Californians as well.Stupid facebook threatened to delete my account for spamming, even though I was only sending out political action notices to members of a political action notice group. :rolleyes:
