In order for my name to appear on the ballot I will need to collect thousands of petitions. I will also need assistance in collecting these petitions. “It takes 675,000 petition signatures for an independent or minor party presidential candidate to get on the ballot in all 50 states -- that is 26 times the number needed by a Democratic presidential candidate.” (Coalition for Free and Open Elections, accessed 25 October 2011 from http://www.cofoe.org/)I have not chosen a running mate yet.
This is a work in progress. I am adding information State by State as I find the information. If you find information and want to send it to me, please e-mail me at: [email protected] or fill out a contact form.
I need all of the help I can get.
