Ben needs to gather 18,368 signatures by the end of August. You can help
get it done -- whether you gather 10 from your family and friends or 1,000 from
your neighborhood.
STEP 1: Getting
Ready
Getting signatures is easy! Asking people to support Ben's candidacy
can be as simple as:
 |

"Are you tired of
extreme partisan politics and the lack of solutions coming from Salem?
Sign this petition to put Ben Westlund on the ballot as an independent.
Let's give Oregonians the chance to hear what he has to say about the
issues." |

Republicans who did NOT vote in the May Primary Election may sign. All
signatures on a single page must be from voters living in the same county.
