It's petition time again – this time,
for the US Congressional race in District 19, our Congressional
District. Sean Eldridge is running on the Democratic ticket, against
incumbent Chris Gibson.
Each candidate has to collect a certain
number of petition signatures in the District. Signing the petition
doesn't commit you to vote for anyone in particular; it doesn't even
signal your support. It just means that you think it's OK for that
person to run. Only registered voters can sign; only registered
Democrats can sign Eldridge's, and only registered Republicans can
sign Gibson's (actually, Gibson is also endorsed by the Independence
Party, so supporters will be circulating those petitions to
registered Independence Party voters as well).
I've got some blank petition forms for
Sean Eldrige. If you'd like to sign, please comment here or e-mail
me. If you'd like to take a blank form and collect signatures from
friends and neighbors who are registered Democrats, let me know, too.
I've got the official list of all registered Democrats in County
Board Districts 11 and 12.
Our goal is 100 signatures in the City
of Oneonta. It's a quick and simple way to participate in democracy.
Let me know! Thanks.
