For Petition Circulators Overview A prior blast e-mail [http://www.scribd.

com/doc/200837384/Action-Items-Guzzardi] provided an overview of this process, taking into account the prospect that people often circulate multiple petitions. This checklist is intended both to orient motivated-Republicans to the process that will be followed regarding Guzzardis effort and to summarize requests that should be honored; thus, reviewing the rules introduced this year by the Pennsylvania Department of State is strongly-advised, and these individuals [congealing as a campaign infrastructure] are available to clarify this advice: Bob Guzzardi Robert B. Sklaroff, M.D. Donna Ellingsen Jay Russell Blake Meyer 215=873-1317 215=333-4900 610=932-2242 267=974-5567 215=873-3070 bobguzzardi@bobguzzardi.com rsklaroff@gmail.com dcellingsen@yahoo.com jayrussell20102011@hotmail.com blakemeyer@bobguzzardi.com

Petitions should be sent to the following address; after processing, they will be given to Guzzardi: Robert B. Sklaroff, M.D. Suite #500C 8001 Roosevelt Boulevard Philadelphia, PA 19152-3041 Read the Candidate Petition Form [https://www.pavoterservices.state.pa.us/Pages/officesurvey.aspx], where candidates and petitioners can create pre-printed, personalized nomination petition forms; acquiring them online will streamline the login and petition review by the Department of State by allowing candidates to save electronic copies of the nomination petition forms for efficient distribution to volunteers, thereby virtually eliminating the possibility of printing errors by campaign volunteers and/or data entry errors by Department personnel. [Paper nomination petition packets will still be available to those individuals upon request; anyone with questions or who wishes to have a paper nomination petition packet mailed to him/her should call the DoS [@ 877=868-3772 or 1=717-787-5280] or send an e-mail to the DoS [petitions@pa.gov or ra-elections@pa.gov.] or write to the DoS [210 North Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17120]. Petition pages have been shortened from 8 x 16 (legal-size) to 8 x 11 (letter-size), thereby containing (sides A/B) up to 30 signatures (instead of the prior total of 50). Guzzardi submitted his Notarized Candidates Affidavit, Statement of Financial Interests, and filing-fee; the Things You Will Need Checklist cites the need to submit Nomination Petitions (completed during a three-week window) with at least 2000 signatures (at least 100 signatures from at least 10 counties). Know that Petitions must be printed 2-sided on 8 x 11 paper, head to head, and each petition page must be notarized after signatures are gathered prior to being remitted for submission to the DoS. USEFUL LINKS are available: Create a personalized nomination petition form packet; Generic Petition; View a copy of the nomination petition instructions; and Frequently Asked Questions. On the one hand, the petitioner doesnt need to know all of this information; on the other hand, its desirable to know details about the overall process when becoming involved in the formal process of petitioning. Thus, yall will be receiving updates regarding Guzzardis campaign on two levels [specifics and generalities]. Episodically, Guzzardi will conduct conference-calls, allowing for free-flow of ideas/suggestions; also, Guzzardi is laboring to reduce to a palm card the essence of his campaign-platform and key-goals.

Generic and Specific Requests Enclosed are three petitions [for one county] and two SASEs [stamped, self-addressed envelopes]; circulating in any other county will be possible if a separate form has been acquired, either via the Internet or mailed by dr. bob Sklaroff (because master-copies for all 67 counties have been printed). Petitioning cannot start until February 18th; all signatures must be submitted to the DoS by March 11th. Remit completed/notarized petitions on both February 25th and March 4th, regardless of how many signatures have been acquired; they will be copied/reviewed and submitted to the DoS in waves. Do not feel intimidated; if you dont want to download petitions (and somehow risk making an error), more will be provided. Although any circulator can acquire signatures from any county, each petition must be county-specific; for example, an individual who lives in Philadelphia can acquire signatures from any of Pennsylvanias 67 counties, including Montgomery, just as long as the person who signs is a voter in the county that has been bar-coded on the petition. No matter how many signatures have been acquired on a petition, the PETITIONER must have it notarized BEFORE it is remitted. (To be clear, before a person signs, the petitioner should confirm his/her residence in the county designated on the front-side as the COUNTY OF SIGNERS; thus, it is not anticipated that any will be subject to challenge.) The active voter status (and political party) of each potential signer can be confirmed via the DoS-site [https://www.pavoterservices.state.pa.us/Pages/VoterRegistrationStatus.aspx]; entering the individuals demographics [county, first/last name, and date-of-birth] will also confirm where that individual votes. [Actual signatures can only be confirmed as legit by consulting each countys registration data, but assumed here is that no one is going to forge lists of names gleaned directly from the phone book.] Both the petition-circulator and the petition-signers must be registered Republicans. Anyone planning to go door-to-door can be provided (via email) a list of super-voters in any particular neighborhood; these are the people who vote regularly. Also, acquiring demographic information [specifically, both telephone-number and e-mail address] is optional, but its provision would maximize subsequent communication-updates; this can be provided on a separate sheet [for insertion within an Excel form]. Signatures must be cursive (not printed); the printed-name must match exactly how it was registered (not using nick-names). The address must cite the name of the municipality (Boro, City or Township) where the signer resides (not his/her post-office/community designation); thus, a person living in Rydal (a neighborhood) must print Abington (Township). Everything should be written in pen (not pencil); some suggest blue-ink is preferable, although others feel black-ink will reproduce optimally. There is no justification to use ditto-marks and the listing of each date on which the signature has been acquired (Date, Month and Year) must be in chronological order; if an error occurs, the entire line must be struck and a new line should be used for the corrected signature; the petitioner cannot correct any error. The circulator must have the completed form notarized before being sent-back for official-filing; therefore, the affidavit must be completed in the presence of the NOTARY-PUBLIC (noting that the same person cannot serve as both circulator and Notary). The circulator must sign and print his/her name [spaces 2 & 3] and write his/her street, municipality, and zip code [spaces 4 & 5], without P.O. Boxes. The Notary must use a stamp (embossed-seals optional) containing Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Name of Notary, Municipality & County where Notary was commissioned (county is not required to match the county appearing at the top left of the affidavit), and Commission expiration date (date must not be chronologically after the date in which the petition was notarized). These data must be in a box.
