Is it too much to ask ANA folks here ?

To help me help one of our own:
His name here on the boards is "Coinhusker", and his son is NotLogical. They've not posted in a long time, and it's mostly due to technical log-in issues from his old computer, I suspect.
Anyway, Mitch is okay. In fact, he's on fire in the numismatic world, still as president of the Omaha Coin Club and active in the midwest region. Some of you fellas may know him.
On that note (being a dealer, I want to say ) It's nice to see a NON dealer type so alive and active in the hobby and the business of the hobby.
The request is simple enough for me to do. I just printed off the PDF and will fill it out and mail it in.
But it's not that easy. It's getting on the ballot , where the first steps are, which look tough. That's why I'm asking you guys to recommend him, too.
His email follows :

Hi Joe,
I'm writing to ask you a favor. I've been encouraged to run for the ANA board, BUT (notice it is a BIG but), I need 25 nominations from either ANA member clubs and/or individual ANA members. Would you consider nominating me? A nomination is not an endorsement or a vote, it just allows me to have my name on the ballot for the election. Being from Nebraska I have limited, national exposure so I need the help of the people I know.
I've attached a nomination for in the .pdf. Please fill in my name in the "I/we, the undersigned, hereby nominate__________________" line and then GOVERNOR in the line "as a candidate for the office of __________________________".
The deadline is March 1st but the sooner the better probably so I have some wiggle room. All the information on where to send the form is located at the bottom of the form.
I'm contacting all the ANA members I know and asking for their nomination.
I would truly appreciate your consideration and a nomination.
Thanks Joe!

Thanks Joe!
Although I'm not an ANA member I'd put in a whole-hearted endorsement for Mitch also. As Joe said, he is extremely active in numismatics and I believe would represent the numismatic collector community well on the ANA board.
I'd help out but I'm not exactly clear on the instructions...

Where do we get this PDF file?
What text goes in the blanks?
Who do we email it to?
This is one of the few posts that I would endorse.
Mitch is a stand-up guy and would be a great asset to the ANA board.
I let my ANA membership lapse as I was not taking advantage of the benefits (as they weren't that useful to me), so regrettably I cannot endorse/vote for him, but I will add my consensus to all of those that urge ANA members to endorse him.
He's definitely the type of person the ANA needs!
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
@TwoSides2aCoin and @CoinHusker:
), I don't want the form to be discarded!
OK, I am an ANA member. I found the form on the ANA website. For anyone else interested, here is the link: https://money.org/uploads/pdfs/2017%20Election%20Forms_Member.pdf
The form has room for 25 signatures; I presume sending it in with just one signature is OK? What is the "official" office that Mitch is running for? The "ANA Board"? Or "ANA Governor"? I'm asking because if I use one of my last two stamps before I need to buy more (
I'm good for a nomination. Let me know the office that Mitch is running for.
According to the OP, Mitch is running for Governor.
I'll send one in.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
1) You get the form here (you might have to be logged in)
2) You print it out and fill out the top as shown
3) Mail it to the address at the bottom
Happy to nominate @CoinHusker. I always appreciate his get it done attitude.
Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks to everyone for your support. Twosides called me and told me that he had posted this. I appreciate his thoughtfulness.
Consider it done.
Thanks for the linky Topo.

I just dropped my nomination for Mitch in the mailbox.
I would do it because I see how well the Omaha coin club has done under him, and I am an ANA member, but I do not think I am old enough to nominate someone. Sorry.

Form mailed with nomination for Mitch.
I too can wholeheartedly endorse Mitch as an amazing, kind, friendly, hardworking passionate man and numismatist. I adore Mitch and respect his values and work ethic.
I first got to know Mitch during the exhibit class we took together at the ANA Summer Seminar. We have been fast friends ever since. If any of you ever get a chance to see his amazing exhibit on Sower medals, please do. He exhibited them a few times and the exhibit took top honors. I encourage you all to take a minute to send in your endorsement of Mitch, you will not regret it. Mitch will make an excellent member of the ANA Board, and if anyone can get things done, Mitch can.

I got total of 3 signatures on ballot tonight at coin club meeting, will get in mail tomorrow.
Good Luck
