An independent candidate for the 9th Congressional District kicked off his petition drive to get on the ballot Friday night in Gainesville . . . 
Eugene Moon invited supporters at the Gainesville Masonic Lodge to come on in, sign his petition, have a cold drink and, a Moon Pie.  He also had a message for them.

“My job is to say no, no to anything that I find that is unconstitutional or anything that will cause a re-distribution of your wealth or my wealth,” Moon said.
Running as an independent under Georgia Ballot Access Law Moon has to have just over 21,000 signatures and $6800 six thousand ready to turn in to the Secretary of State’s office in Atlanta by July 13th at high noon.  Moon said he’s confident he’ll have all those signatures and the money, believing that people are fed up with mainstream political parties and politicians.
