The good news is, you probably need only about a dozen signatures.

The bad news is, you're running out of time.

This is such a simple first step for anyone seeking:

1. to get his/her feet wet in elected politics
2. to get involved in changing your party from the inside
3. to learn how things work, to meet party people, and to become a more effective and informed activist

Don't know how to go about this? Two resources you should consider:

1. The Center for Civic Responsibility has tons of helpful information to get you started. Visit here: http://jointhecampaign.org/pages/

2. Visit NJ for Democracy, www.njfordemocracy.org or DFA-Link (http://www.dfalink.com) to find your nearest local affiliate of Democracy for America or sign up for the DFA County Committee project at http://www.dfalink.com/group.php?id=654 to find people who know the ropes and, assuming you are a good progressive candidate not opposing a good progressive incumbent, will probably give you lots of help working your way through the process.

RUN, don't walk, to your municipal clerk and get those petitions!!!!!
