Dear Friend,
There’s no other way to say it: the Green Party is
hurting from the bitter, divisive propaganda campaign the Democrats
and their media flunkies have been running about the unjust decision
handed down this week by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
By kicking Howie and Angela off the ballot in Wisconsin and then
publicly celebrating this naked act of self-serving
disenfranchisement, the Democrats have made plain their intention to
“save democracy from Trump” by killing it themselves first and then
dancing on the grave.
That’s why I’m writing to you from the front lines of
another fight to keep our nominees for President and Vice
President on the ballot, here in my state of Pennsylvania.
On September 9, the Pennsylvania Democrats (PADEMs) asked the
Supreme Court to remove Howie from our ballot, overturning a lower
court ruling and the Department of State. And — just like in Wisconsin
— their operatives have launched a smear campaign to blame the Greens
for delaying the printing of mail-in ballots.
For the Green Party of Pennsylvania, 2020 has been a gauntlet of
legal battles while being forced to collect thousands of petition
signatures during a pandemic. Our members and allies have stepped up
to support us but we need your help. Please
donate to the Green Party of Pennsylvania’s legal fund today to
support our defense of our presidential ballot
line.
We cannot allow the PADEMs to use the COVID-19 pandemic as a weapon
against democracy, nor can we permit the ridiculous claims against our
nominating papers to win out. As the PADEMs double down on their
interference in free elections, the GPPA needs your support to defend
the rights of all Pennsylvania voters.
We’re expecting a decision from the court this week, but who knows
if that will be the end of this fight! And then we still have to reach
millions of voters to tell them about their chance to cast a ballot
for Improved/Expanded Medicare-For-All, a Green New Deal and ending
the wars abroad and the police state at home.
Please
help by donating today or sharing this news at www.gpofpa.org/legal.
In Solidarity, Cheri Honkala Green Party of Pennsylvania
