Dear james m:

2008 is a pivotal year for the Green Party. In this time of global
warming, 
war and social injustice the Green Party is the only reasonable
alternative 
to challenge the corporate duopoly. The entire world is holding its breath

hoping that the people of the United States will do the right thing. The 
people of the United States will not be able to do the right thing if the 
Green Party fails to establish 51 ballot lines or if it fails to nominate
a 
presidential ticket that can garner at least the 5% of the vote required
by 
the Federal Election Commission to grant the Green Party funding in the 
following 2012 election.

With the passage of the Green National Committee Proposal 305 the "We Will

Run Resolution", the Green Party will work to maximize the number of
ballot 
lines on which our nominees will appear. The Green Party will be
conducting 
a contested presidential nomination process and we will be nominating a 
presidential ticket at our 2008 convention to be held in Chicago on July 
10-13.

Almost all states require that the Green Party Presidential Candidate 
receive 5% of the vote to retain ballot status. Without ballot status it
is 
difficult to for Green Party candidates to run and win public office.
Steps 
to gaining ballot status vary from state to state. In Arizona, we are 
required to turn in signatures for 1.33% of the number of people voting in

the 2006 election - that number is around 21,000 and for insurance we plan

to gather 25-30,000 signatures. Running a candidate that can save us from 
having to do this again next time will be a huge victory for the Arizona 
Green Party.

The Green Party does not accept money from corporations. We only accept 
donations from individuals. If we are to succeed in establishing 51 ballot

lines for our presidential ticket we need money. Will you help us today by

making a contribution? Your contribution will be applied to the Green
Party 
general fund that keeps the party alive and functioning. By contributing

you will be insuring the continued existence of the Green Party and
helping 
us with our many programs to expand and grow the party including efforts

gain ballot access.
