Attention Missouri Mittheads: Ballot Petition Drive NewsOctober 21st, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in 2008, F. Thompson, Missouri, Petition Drive, Primaries & Caucuses, Students

About a month ago, Rod Jetton, Speaker of the Missouri House, asked me to be a St. Louis County Organizer for the Romney campaign.
Since that time we have had an organizational meeting, a private fund raiser at Hunter Farms, we are working, in cooperation with the University of Missouri at Columbia, to bring Craig Romney and his wife to our state for a town hall meeting and now we are in the midst of a successful ballot petition drive to collect the 5,000 names needed to get MR on the Mo. primary ballot.
I spent two hours at a local shopping mall yesterday and along with the signatures I collected at the office, I was able to mail 50 new names into the state campaign HQ in Jefferson City.
I was struck by the enthusiasm of some of the people I talked to. One of them asked me to call her later so that she could contribute to the campaign. A high percentage of the signers were Democrats willing to do their part to make sure that everybody gets to make their voice heard. A couple were FT fence sitters who say they will now vote for MR because they were impressed by the fact that a Romney guy was out there on a beautiful Saturday morning, collecting signatures, inviting them to the website and to watch Sunday night’s debate. I could be wrong, but I bet FT wasn’t doing any campaigning himself while I was out there schmoozing about All Things Romney.
After I left the mall, I had a good feeling about my efforts and it was fun! I would like to invite you to join with me in the process. If you are willing to help, please email me: jtc1767@yahoo.com and I will email you the petition drive form.
