New York Calling...
Greens in the Great State of New York are working their fannies off to get a few top notch candidates on their ballot. Do you want to help out? I'm going to help, and won't have to give money nor leave the comfort of my South Carolina home. What am I going to do? Check behind the "Read more!" link and you'll see how I am going to help, and how you can too...
Fellow Green National Committee delegate, friends, and Green Party activists. We are writing to you today because the Green Party needs your help getting candidates on the ballot in New York. Compared to the ballot access requirements in other states the goal is very attainable, but we need your help! We need to collect 20,000 signatures in the next 2 weeks.
This is a ballot access campaign, 50,000 votes for Governor will secure our ballot line for the next four years and our candidate for President will appear on the NY ballot in 2008, As the state with the second largest Green enrollment, this election will affect us all in 2008 and greatly enhance our chances of getting major NYC press coverage.
If we fail to get on the ballot, we will not be recognized in New York State, and 36,000 of us will no longer be registered as Greens. With 6 elected Greens in New York State, we need to maintain that status!
To witness (collect signatures) a petition or to sign a person must be registered to vote in the State of New York, and you can not witness your own signature on a petition. If from another state you can assist petitioners by carrying clipboards providing the NY voter witnesses the signature and signs as the witness.
There are approximately 36,000 registered Greens in New York, we have addresses for approximately 20,000 Greens and phone numbers for approximately 10,000 Greens. We need your help to contact everyone!
Here is how you can help:
-If you are willing to come to NY for a few days contact Jerry Kann
(718)728-1092 (home) or (212)240-0501 (GP Office).
-If you have friends or family in New York please ask them to download a petition and collect signatures, make sure they have someone else witness their signature on a separate petition, too! For more visit the GPNY website
-If you can make phone calls to registered Greens in New York State contact Jason Nabewaniec, and him know how many phone calls you pledge to make, we will provide you with a list and a script.
Mail Jason here (585)442-4305
-Donate to our candidates so that we can afford to do a mailing to our registered Greens. Donate online at www.gpny.org or checks can be made payable to make checks out to:
"Green Party Peace Slate"
PO Box 8297
New York, NY 10116
Additionally, Judy Einach, our Petition Coordinator can be contacted at this address and this phone number:(716) 316-5839
-Forward this email on to your Green Party emails lists, and other progressive contacts.
Thank you for your help, together we can reach our goal!
Sincerely Yours,
Rebecca Rotzler
