I am petitioning for my candidate statement in the Oregon Voter&amp;#8217;s Pamphlet for this 2010 General Election. We need to get 300 signatures by Aug. 24th, 2010. I bet each and every Oregonian following this list can easily find 10 family members, friends and neighbors to sign the petition. It&amp;#8217;ll be easy and fun!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="CLICK HERE TO VIEW FULL PETITION INSTRUCTIONS" href="http://edsfriends.org/SEL431_Attach2_PetitionCandidateStatement-2.pdf"&gt;CLICK HERE TO VIEW FULL PETITION INSTRUCTIONS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is quick info from page one of the petition:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write the petition ID number provided by the Elections Division in the field in the upper right corner of the petition signature sheet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attach a copy of the statement to each petition signature sheet and circulate for signatures. No more than five signature sheets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;may be attached to any one copy of the statement&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guidelines for Circulation of Petition (ORS 260.555, 260.560)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Petition Circulator&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Must ensure all active registered voters who sign a single signature sheet are residents of the same county&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Must personally sign their legal signature on the petition circulator’s certification&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Must provide the date when the certification was signed and must not collect any other signatures on that sheet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Person Who Signs Petition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Must be an active registered voter in the State of Oregon at the time of signing the petition&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Must be registered to vote in the same county as the other signers of a single signature sheet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions, call the Secretary of State, Elections Division at 503.986.1518&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have already filled out most of the form for anyone ready to participate. You&amp;#8217;ll still need to fill out the county and the required info at the bottom. The forms can be downloaded here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="DeCoste Candidate Statement" href="http://edsfriends.org/statement.pdf"&gt;DeCoste Candidate Statement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
