Folks, if you want your signature on a petition to count, print your full name (legibly) where is says "print your name", sign your name the same way you printed it (if you print your middle initial, sign with it too), put your entire street address (including city and state), remember PO boxes don't count. Also, look at the bottom to make sure the circulater hasn't already singed or dated it... and look at the signatures above yours to make sure none of them will negate the petition sheet you're signing.
If it's important enough to take the time to sign it, it's important enough to do it correctly and completely.

Just curious, are you actually one of the people making sure the petitions are legitimate?

Well, I'm a volunteer with "Verify the Recall". I am involved in transcribing the information on the petitions into the database. I'm not one of the people who will decide which signatures count and which don't. However, I am seeing a lot of all of the above on the petitions.
Some might say it shouldn't matter, but as I said, if it's important enough to take the time to put your name on, it should be important enough to do it correctly and completely.

I agree it is important. I was just curious to see how you knew so much about the petitions. Now I know, that is good you are doing something you believe in and just not sitting on your butt saying how illegitimate some of these petitions are. You are actually seeing the process with your own eyes.
