Your help is needed to see the passage of two ballot access bills in 2012.  Senator Cam Ward (R-Alabaster) has introduced two different ballot access bills.  The first bill (Senate Bill 15), which would cut the current petition requirement from the current 3% to 1.5% or 5000 or whichever is lesser.  The second bill (Senate Bill 55), would eliminate Alabama's current petition requirements in exchange for a filing fee that would be equal 2% of the salary for said office and capped at $5000.

Even though I favor open ballot access for all candidates and parties, I am asking our party members and supporters to rally behind the passage of these two bills.

SB55  (if the website shows expired click the introduction tab at the top)

How you can help?  The first thing, we need to do is assure the passage of both bills out of the CONSTITUTION, CAMPAIGN FINANCE, ETHICS AND ELECTIONS Committee.

I have listed the members of this committee below and their contact information.

I ask that everyone who calls to be polite and respectful. The majority of our politicians do not understand just how strict Alabama’s ballot access laws are.  If you need additional talking points before calling, please do not hesitate to call or email me.  Thank You!
