MI: Tea Party Independent Faces Uphill Battle for Ballot Access

From Free Press Politics:
The Michigan Tea Party isn't a political party with a slate of candidates.  That won't stop Tea Party activist Stacey Mathia from describing herself as the Tea Party candidate for governor.  Mathia, 37, is more like a no shot than a long shot if she can't figure out a way to rally Tea Party energy and activists to her candidacy. . . . She will need to collect 30,000 petition signatures by mid-July to get on the November ballot as an Independent candidate. To do that, and put together a campaign, Mathia will have to raise money, something she said hasn't worked out so far."A lot of people want to help, but they can't do anything financially," she said last week.
