An Easy Way You Can Help Strike a Blow For Independent Politics

Friends,

The people's candidate in this election (the one not running with the two parties but in opposition to them) is Eric Sundwall. He could really use our help getting on the ballot. He needs about 5,000 - 6,000 signatures of registered voters from our congressional district to satisfy the Board Of Elections. This may also allow corporate media to pay a small amount of attention to him. More voices, more choices, right?

Please contact me at mattfuniciello@earthlink.net and I will send his petition pdf file to you ...

Eric is MY candidate. So, even if you do not intend to vote for him, I know that you value our democracy and that its unlikely that you do not want me (or other independent voters) to have our choice represented. In that vein, I am asking you to do me a favor.

1 - Print out one (or more) of the attached ballot petitions.

2 - Have some of your family and friends take five seconds out of their busy day to apply their pen to the paper for you (as long as they vote in CD 20).

3 - Sign it as a witness and be sure that all information is correct. Remember that the two parties will challenge everything on a petition they can get away with.

3 - Mail the ballot to Eric Sundwall immediately and directly at his address listed in Niverville, NY. The deadline is March 6th so mail it by Tuesday just to be sure.

4 - Rest easy in the knowledge that you have just braced the divide between spectator and participant in our "democratic" process and that I, and Eric, thank you!

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call me at (518) 361-6278.

Sincerely,
Matt
