    In all honesty... (none / 0) (#3)
    by KG One on Fri Apr 13, 2012 at 05:05:37 PM EST
    ...this is something that I was seriously considering until recently.

    I did some research into what would be required, got a bit of a handle on it and crunched some numbers.

    Then, I had some family issues creep up that I'd prefer to get fixed before starting anything else (part of the reason I'm gone as much as I am).

    I'll still lend a hand for those candidates I trust this year (albeit not as much as I'd like to), so I won't be completely off of the radar.

    One little quirk I'd like to point out regarding the $100 Project:

    Filing requirements for "independent" candidates: A candidate without political party affiliation (i.e., an "independent" candidate) who wishes to seek the office of State Representative must file an Affidavit of Identity and a qualifying petition bearing a minimum of 600 valid signatures no later than 4:00 p.m. on July 19, 2012. Up to 1,200 signatures can be filed to cover the minimum signature requirement. A filing fee option is not available.

    I found it interesting that the republicans and democrats made it easier on themselves by requiring fewer signatures than independents and to top things off, gave only themselves a filing fee exemption.

    Again, not a dimes worth of difference!
