{news} RE: Sample Statement of Endorsement to be filed with City/Town Clerk by 9/14

[David Bedell]

Thanks, Charlie, this is helpful.  Pearl Williams at SotS confirmed to me 
what she probably told you:  that under current rules, for offices where we 
already have ballot access (in her words, where we have minor party status), 
we need only submit such a letter, signed by a local party officer, to the 
Town Clerk.  State Cochairs do not have to sign, and nothing has to be 
submitted to the SotS.
