[statecom] Statement from the Nader campaign

[Jim Hammerman]

Dear StateCom,
I've spent a substantial amount of time talking with folks at the Nader 
campaign about Mr. Nader's status in relation to the Green party 
nomination. They are clear that Mr. Nader's statements in the press make 
very clear his status and don't think further clarification is required. 
I'm attaching the letter I received from Mike Richardson describing the 
campaign's position on this. I hope this helps us move forward.
All the best,
Jim Hammerman

As we discussed on the phone, Ralph Nader is not and has never been a 
candidate for the 2008 Green Party nomination.  Mr. Nader has already 
announced his decision to not seek the Green nomination in a news release 
earlier this year that you are familiar with.  Here in Massachusetts we 
are preparing an "unenrolled" petition for an independent ballot line in  
November.  Any Green-Rainbow Party member interested in helping Ralph 
Nader appear on the Massachusetts ballot may be directed to me for 
petition circulation information.
