Rocking in Vermont – Stepping Up the Tempo

The campaign has stepped up the tempo in Vermont. With a deadline next week for our filing documents, the local team is ramped up and their hard work has already earned over 500 of the required 1,000 signatures to get Rocky on the ballot. Rocky will be addressing supporters in Burlington at the Discover Jazz Festival, live via Skype at the Church Street Marketplace where they intend to finish off this petition drive.

One of our local heroes, Ben Eastwood, writes:

“We will be gathering signatures for Rocky Anderson for President on the Church Street Marketplace tomorrow from 11am-9pm. Throughout the day there will be opportunities to meet and talk with Rocky live via Skype. By making the best use of available technology, we are able to offer this unprecedented opportunity to meet and talk with a candidate for President, while reducing our impact on the environment and insuring that we use our resources wisely. Come out and meet Rocky, and find out why we are working so hard to get him on the ballot here in Vermont this fall. We’ll be located on the Church Street Marketplace, in beautiful Downtown Burlington Vermont, right next to city hall.”

Let’s show Ben, along with the rest of our canvassing team — Nancy, Charles, Becky, Paul, Sara, Matt, Michael, Eboney, Jesse, Jill, and Blair — that we support their valuable efforts.

Please join their event if you are able. Contact Walter Mason at ballotaccess@justicepartyusa.org if you have any questions or if you would be interested in joining the canvassing team as they move on to New Hampshire. If you are unable to become directly involved, please know that your financial contribution makes their continued work possible. Please donate to our ballot access fund here.

Sally Soriano — our new Campaign Coordinator, with a long history of political activity, including working as Ralph Nader’s 2008 Campaign Manager — explains, “Ballot access laws in states around the country are arcane, but Vermonters are taking on the challenge in stride, helping open doors, exemplifying a fair process for third-parties to have their voices heard.” Join our fight today.
