How We Won With 1.4% of the Vote
<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=QR8%2FRiDVwGybpt82T4p%2BYHlIvoj%2FBeOQ>


It was a small victory, but one that begs to be duplicated across the
country. Last week Howie Hawkins, the Green Party of New York State's
candidate for Governor, polled over 58,000 votes for just under 1.5% of
the total for that office. Howie won't be going to Albany with those
numbers, but those fifty thousand votes translate into ballot access for
Green Party candidates in New York for the next four years.

Now, instead of having to petition their way onto ballots for each
election between now and 2014, New York candidates from city councils on
up to our 2012 Presidential ticket can spend their time and resources
promoting their campaigns. The same thing can happen in Texas, thanks to
the Green Party's Ed Lindsay. When he polled 6% for Comptroller of
Public Accounts, the Green Party of Texas won continued access to the
ballot for the next four years.

Can you help us build similar campaigns across the country?

Last week, just under 55% of American voters saw a Green Party candidate
somewhere on their ballot. With the victories of last Tuesday, Green
Party candidates in the four most populous states in the U.S. will have
access to the ballot simultaneously for the first time in over a decade.
Can you help us expand this list, and work toward the day when every
Green Party candidate in the country has the same right to the ballot as
Democrats and Republicans?

Green Parties from California to Michigan to Massachusetts also won
continuing access to ballots in their states. The road to guaranteed
access to ballots in 2012 begin today. Can you get behind us and turn
small wins like Howie Hawkins' 1.4% in New York into big wins?

Thank you for your support!

P.S. Did you know that the eleven Green Party candidates for U.S. Senate
polled over a half-million votes last week, the highest total since
2000? The Green Senatorial Campaign Committee contributed to ten of
these candidates and continues to work for future Green Party candidates
for U.S. Senate (and U.S. House!). Find out more about the committee and
