Friend,
Whew! Signature collecting for
ballot access is a wrap! Just yesterday, we got word that we crossed
the finish line in Rhode Island, the very last state where our
anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate action campaign was collecting
signatures.
Jill and Butch will now be an
option for 240 million voters across the country. And they have a
staggering 517 potential electoral votes, well over the required 270
electoral votes to get a people, planet, and peace administration in
the White House.
We also have an update on Nevada,
where the anti-democratic party is scrambling to subvert democracy by
using all the dirty tricks they can. In case you missed it, the office
of the Nevada Secretary of State (a Democrat) gave the campaign the
wrong forms to use to get on the ballot. Then the dirty Dems used that
technicality to sue us off the ballot - we won in lower courts, only
to lose in the Nevada Supreme Court. And this just in from our
research team: the Chief Justice in the case is a DNC
donor.
But we aren’t giving up. Our
lawyers have said that we have a case that the US Supreme Court may
take which will make ripples all over the country for ballot
access.
The process for ballot access is a
complete mess and a preposterous waste of resources, and not just for
independent campaigns. The amount of time and money spent by local
governments trying to navigate the complex laws passed by Republicans
and “Democrats” to block us from the ballot is immeasurable. But the
expense to the campaign is measurable: we have spent over a million
dollars on the fight to give voters a real choice this
November.
The dirty Dems’ attack on our
ballot access in Nevada, when you add up the costs of petitioning and
legal fees, has probably cost us over $100,000 for the privilege of
having our petitions thrown out by dirty tricks. We can’t miss the
opportunity to rectify this waste of time and resources.
We
need all hands on deck to pay for the legal fees to take this to the
US Supreme Court. So, Friend, please pitch in today to take this fight
to the US Supreme Court:
