Friend,
With nothing more than a swipe of a
pen in a single sentence, The Supreme Court of the United States has
allowed the Nevada Supreme Court to deny a real choice to millions of
voters in Nevada.
We submitted over 29,000 signatures in
Nevada, almost three times the required threshold for ballot access.
Hard working petitioners braved the sweltering heat to collect
signatures of voters who want more democratic choices on the ballot.
But after all this hard work, in swooped the anti-Democratic Party
with one of their many lawsuits to kick us off the ballot.
Some media outlets are simply
saying “the Green Party used the wrong paperwork.” But here’s the real
story: we submitted the correct petition form to the Nevada Secretary
of State (a Democrat), they instructed us to use the wrong form, and
then the Democrats sued us for using that form! As our legal brief to
the Supreme Court said, this violates our constitutional rights by
allowing “the government to
tell someone to stand on a carpet and then pull that carpet out from
under them.”
The Stein/Ware campaign has been
besieged by lawfare and dirty tricks by the anti-Democratic Party
because we’re challenging empire with the only anti-genocide,
pro-worker, climate emergency campaign that will be a choice for
voters all over the nation. We’ve been able to beat back their attacks
on democracy in Wisconsin, Georgia, and most recently New Hampshire.
Because of supporters like you, we’ve not only survived, but we
continue to thrive. Now we need your support to get the word out to
the over 90% of voters who will have Jill and Butch on the ballot that
they don’t have to vote for the duopoly candidates of war and Wall
Street, and make sure that they know they can vote their values this
November.
