Members of the Constitution Party came out in Kinston on Saturday to rally support for their political organization.
They want to get at least 85,000 signatures so their party can be recognized on ballots.
Their goal is to get it done by 2012.
They say people who sign don't have to change their political party and that it's just a way to support the new organization.
The party's regional director says the party is not anti-government but that it stands for good government.
Supporters want to inform people about the constitution.
"We are losing our rights and once again, if we don't realize we have those rights, first and foremost, we won't know that we've lost anything," said Terry Hardison, the Regional Director of the Constitution Party of North Carolina.
In addition to drumming up support for the party, members also talked about local issues including the annexation plans in Kinston.
