Hi ,Since the time that we turned in our petitions to get onto the Pennsylvania ballot, it has been a legal battle. First, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party challenged our signatures line by line. But they had to drop that challenge. Then, they challenged the candidate substitution paperwork that PA Greens submitted and managed to get Angela Walker knocked off as the vice presidential candidate. But the courts ordered Howie (at least) to be placed onto the ballot, and we celebrated a partial victory for a day or so. But now the Democrats have now appealed. Our response to their court appeal is due on Monday. The Green Party of Pennsylvania has run out of money to keep defending our ballot line, and so it's up to us to continue the fight. The new expenses could run as high as $20,000. Will you make a donation now to help us defend our Pennsylvania ballot line? Without Howie and Angela on the ballot, no one will be talking about moving away from fossil fuels (fracking is a huge problem in PA) to avert climate meltdown. No one will be calling for a 75% reduction in military spending to be reinvested in our communities. Without our team on the ballot, the real issues we face will never be addressed. Don't let them silence our demands for a proper Green New Deal and more. Can you give what you can today to ensure Pennsylvania progressives have a choice? In solidarity, Team Howie
