Besides having privacy related coloring book pages (don't let your kids use their real name online), it could also have Where's Waldo like pages that search for different things such as surveillance cameras and privacy related word searches and crosswords. Will suggest it to ~~USPirates or~~ PPI to see if other pirate parties want to help.

			Nomination signatures due for validation by city/town clerks for state offices by May 3rd and federal offices by August 3rd. [ https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elepdf/Candidates-Guide-22.pdf State election guide (pdf)]. Nomination papers are free and can be acquired at [https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elenominationpapers/nominationpapersidx.htm one of these government offices].

			Discussion of running for office, especially for US House of Rep. Looked at the [https://electionstats.state.ma.us/elections/search/year_from:2020/year_to:2020/office_id:5/stage:General 2020 general election statistics]. More competition than in the past, but mostly only the incumbent and a single challenger, often a Republican. Neal (1st) and Trahan (3rd/Lowell) didn't have opponents. While our focus has been on State Rep. elections, US Congress might be good as well if we make sure our candidates can gather the required 2000 validated signatures. Need to focus on starting/expanding local chapters as well.

			James will come up with a short how to get on the ballot video. Needs to get copies of the nomination papers.

			Upcoming events include [https://xrboston.org/action/fossil-fuel-freedom-tour/ XRBoston's Earth Day event on 4/22] which James plans to attend. Looks like we could do protests of the EARN IT Act (and would have support from other groups) or the [https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/3880/cosponsors?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22SMART+Act+of+2022%22%2C%22SMART%22%2C%22Act%22%2C%22of%22%2C%222022%22%5D%7D&r=1&s=1 SMART Copyright Act of 2022].
