Victory 2008 - Ballot Access Fundraising Drive

Ballot Access Fundraising Drive

How Green is Your Ballot?

Late Breaking News: The Green Party of Arizona Submits Many More Signatures than Needed for Ballot Drive.

On March 6, the Arizona Green Party submitted close to 30,000 signatures, far more than the 20,449 needed to secure the Green ballot line. This effort was made possible with significant financial support from the national Green Party, plus direct donations and tremendous volunteer assistance from Greens across the United States. "With just 3 or 4 weeks to go and only 13,000 signatures in hand, I thought we were doomed to failure!" said Richard Scott, Co-Chair Arizona Ballot Access Committee. "But the cooperative efforts of Greens from all over the country both in raising money and in travel to Arizona to help - put us over the top!" said Scott, "I can't thank all the helpers and contributors enough. We will remember this in Arizona and we will be more than willing to help the next state with their ballot drive. This shows just what we can do when we pull together." The success of the Arizona drive provides a model for supporting other drives, and this can become a reality if Green Party fundraising increases significantly - We can do it!

The Green Party of the United States is conducting a major fundraising drive. Our goal is to raise $10,000 and we need your help.

The Green Party plans to run 1,000 candidates from the municipal to federal level this year – this is more Green Candidates than ever before. The Ballot Access Committee is working to make sure the voters can choose Green on their ballot in all 51 states this year. But, we need your help to make it happen.

Please consider making a donation now to the Green Party. Your donation will go towards the Ballot Access Committee to provide financial support for State Green Parties trying to secure ballot lines in 2008; and the goal of running 1000 Green Party candidates across the United States in 2008.

In order to do this, we are kicking off our major fundraising drive with a goal of raising $10,000 as quickly as we can. Half of the money raised will go directly to Ballot Access campaigns and half to support the general fund. The general fund is what keeps the Green Party’s doors open, and is also the source of funding for the Coordinated Campaign Committee (CCC). The CCC provides support for Green candidates nationally through campaign schools, candidate trainings, and financial and material support to Green Campaigns. Both the general fund and ballot access fund need to be increased to make securing ballot lines and supporting the candidates running on those lines possible.

We can't do this without your help. This is how you can help right now (click on links):
