Friend --
Tomorrow we will be sending out our September newsletter, but
before then, we want to talk to you about our ballot access
initiative.
We’ll cut to the chase; we are asking every supporter
to help us get back on the ballot by doing the
following:
- Download and Print our petition
- Complete and Sign our petition
- Mail the signed petition to the party
- Donate to the petition drive -- every dollar
counts!
Why are we asking this of you?
We need to collect 10,000 valid signatures from Maryland
voters to regain ballot access, but we are aiming for 15,000
signatures, because the Maryland state board of elections will surely
throw some of them out.
We already have several thousand signatures, but we still
have a long way to go. We need your help!
Click
here to download the petition and instructions on how to collect
signatures.
What happened and what should I
do?
Six months ago, the Board of Elections notified registered
Greens that the party had been temporarily de-certified. Registered
Greens were asked to change party affiliation, or to register as
“Other- Green”; and many were left with the impression that the Green
Party was no more. Fortunately we are very much alive and
active!
We need your help to collect valid signatures to get back on
the ballot. Anyone over 18 years old can collect signatures. Even if
you can only collect a few from your family, friends, and neighbors,
every signature gets us closer to the goal!
We are asking you to download the petition, get 5 signatures
from friends and family, then mail the petition to the address listed
on the form.
How else can I help?
In addition to asking our supporters to help gather
signatures, we are also hiring a part time ballot access coordinator.
Each $15 you donate pays for an hour of their wages as they help us
gather the 15,000 signatures we need.
Donate $15
Today to pay for an hour of work for our ballot access
coordinator
Thank you for your support,
Maryland Green Party http://www.mdgreens.org/
