In 1975, I was a full-time, volunteer activist with the Committee for a Constitutional Presidency/McCarthy '76 (and a registered voter with the Peace and Freedom Party). We failed to qulify Senator Eugene McCarthy for the 1976 California ballot via the candidate signature gathering method. (Of course, it really hurt us that the California Secretary of State, March Fong Eu, gave us our petitions after the official time for petitioning began and then would not extend our signature gathering time.) In 1983, I was a registered voter with Rep. John Angerson's National Unity Party. We failed to qualify the Party for the 1984 California ballot by utilizing the party signature gatering method. In 1995, I was a registered voter with the Honorable Ross Perot's Reform Party. We failed to qualify the Party for the 1996 California ballot via the party voter registration method. Fortunately, however, we were subsequently able to qualify the Party via the party signature gathering method. My adivce to all Unity08 members: organize, organize, organize!

My first thought was, well neither does the AIP. Sheesh it's tough to get old and have the old vision slip. It was nice visiting your city briefly Sunday. Next time when I'm there longer, I'll give you a call. Gary Richard,

I suppose that that could have made a difference?
