We welcomed several new members and proceeded to get down to business.

1. A short discussion was held concerning submitting our NJ Justice Party By-Laws, and why its important we get them completed and submitted as soon as possible. The members of that committee can exchange additions and corrections in the google group , if you wish to help with the by laws send an email to jp...@googlegroups.com or let me know and I can add you directly.

2. We went over the petition requirements and we needed more people working on it. Here are the links for the petition to get Rocky on the ballot:

Tim O’Neill said he filed all the paper work with the FEC and also with the state. He received our number.

He also opened up a post office box necessary to file paperwork.

The mailing address is: Justice Party of New Jersey Committee is PO Box 8, Collingswood, NJ 08108

3. IMPORTANT- Went over the newly formed Social Media Team and looking for people to sign up to help. It only takes about 15 minutes a day to do basically what you do now. Monitor your usual websites and place articles on your Facebook and Tweeter. Since 3^rd party candidates do not have the funds for TV ads, this is one of the most important parts you can help with for the campaign. If you wish to get involved contact D’Marie Mulattieri, dmulattie...@gmail.com or 801-990-5300.

4. We discussed the upcoming Meet and Greet fundraiser for Rocky.

You can print out the 2 sided 2 per page invite to share with others here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/98828088/2sided-Invitation-for-Fundraiser

Here is the 8 x 11 poster for the event to post at Wawa’s, coffee shops, grocery stores, student lounges and other places with public bulletin boards. NOTE: Please let me know how many of these you can hang up and I will send them to you. http://www.scribd.com/doc/98829139/8x11poster

Mary Ellen volunteered to do a press advisory now and also do up press releases at time of event.

Charles and Ernest said they would work on posting the fundraiser on Event Calendars. Below are links to publications with event listings.

Go to Patch.com http://www.patch.com/# , click on New Jersey , register on site , pick a town, and then post details of fundraiser under events.

These are links to newspapers and other media by states.

a) This site is pretty neat because it provides keycodes to their facebook, twitter, address,phone number for editor, and what areas a publication covers, plus in the right column gives more info for Craigslist, radio, TV and Colleges. http://www.usnpl.com/ctnews.php
