To:


Fellow Green National Committee delegate, friends, and Green Party
activists.  We are writing to you today because the Green Party needs your
help getting candidates on the ballot in New York.  Compared to the ballot
access requirements in other states the goal is very attainable, but we need
your help! We need to collect 20,000 signatures in the next 2 weeks.

This is a ballot access campaign, 50,000 votes for Governor will secure our
ballot line for the next four years and our candidate for President will
appear on the NY ballot in 2008, As the state with the second largest Green
enrollment, this election will affect us all in 2008 and greatly enhance our
chances of getting major NYC press coverage.

If we fail to get on the ballot, we will not be recognized in New York
State, and 36,000 of us will no longer be registered as Greens.  With 6
elected Greens in New York State, we need to maintain that status!

To witness (collect signatures) a petition or to sign a person must be
registered to vote in the State of New York, and you can not witness your
own signature on a petition.  If from another state you can assist
petitioners by carrying clipboards providing the NY voter witnesses the
signature and signs as the witness.

There are approximately 36,000 registered Greens in New York, we have
addresses for approximately 20,000 Greens and phone numbers for
approximately 10,000 Greens.  We need your help to contact everyone!

Here is how you can help:

-If you are willing to come to NY for a few days contact Jerry Kann

(718)728-1092 (home) or (212)240-0501 (GP Office).

-If you have friends or family in New York please ask them to download a
petition and collect signatures, make sure they have someone else witness
their signature on a separate petition, too! www.gpny.org

-If you can make phone calls to registered Greens in New York State contact
Jason Nabewaniec, and him know how many phone calls you pledge to make, we
will provide you with a list and a script.
