We have an independent running for congress in the 10th. His press release says he’s collecting signatures and is a “former” Marine. I didn’t know there was such a thing as a “former Marine.”
James P. Mason completed a two day tour of the 10th District this weekend to kick off PROJECT: PETITION, an effort to collect over 17,000 signatures. The signatures, from 5% of registered 10th District voters, are needed to secure his placement on the general election ballot November 4.

Will PROJECT: PETITION be followed by OPERATION: CAMPAIGN, MISSION: ELECTION and TARGET: WASHINGTON?
Oh, those Devil Dogs…

Unless he has a huge group of workers helping him he’ll never get enough signatures. To get 17,000 valid signatures you have to collect probably 19,000. I’m betting NO.

His web site is not exactly rife with specifics, and his web designer incorrectly assumes the dimensions on my portrait monitor, but I really like to see independent and third party candidates run in states with majority requirements for elections.
I really wish Georgia would reduce the signature requirement or eliminate it entirely, so there could be a little more variety and competitiveness in the elections in our state.
