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 in order to make securing ballot lines
and supporting the candidates running on those lines
possible.</FONT></FONT></P>
