and all we've raised is $1900? This is not indicative of the kind of support Matt deserves for all his hard work this year.

Thanks for all the comments. Here are a few more reasons we need to kick out the out of state notaries.

Virginia notaries are not required to undergo any training, exam, or background check and are not required to purchase a bond. Virginia touts itself as a "self-certifying" state.

Texas notaries are not required to undergo any training, exam, or background check. But they do have to purchase a $10k bond payable to the governor.

So now, we have notaries remotely coming into CA from TX and VA performing notarial acts for Californians who haven't even been trained and tested on their own state's laws let alone ours.

Basically all that time, work and money that you and I put in to become a notary in CA means bupkis to them. This should be a point of contention for any CA notary based solely on the need for an even playing field. Out of state Notaries performing notarial acts in the state of CA should at least be mandated to carry a bond and be background checked.

What are your thoughts???

-Matt Miller

My thoughts: WE NEED TO MOBILIZE AND RAISE $10,000 by June 1 so Matt can really hit this opposition with a whallop!
