RE: support from the national party - Targeted Resources & Matching Funds
program

The Coordinated Campaign Committee's job is to help you win. As an elected
committee of the Green Party of the United States, we assess the viability
and strategic context of state and local campaigns nationwide  -- especially
small campaigns with a budget under $20,000 -- and we direct the national
party's limited resources toward the campaigns where they will have the
greatest impact.

We look forward to working with you and your campaign manager, staff and
volunteers.
Resources available from the national party include:
- Website Templates
- Media support
- Use of National Donor Lists for district or selected zip codes
- Use of volunteer lists
- Advice regarding the campaign's ballot access plan, fundraising plan,
field plan, and media plan
- Matching funds (Funds are limited.  The CCC currently only considers
requests of less than $500)

Please use the campaign questionnaire on the CCC web site
(http://www.gp.org/committees/campaign/campaigntarget.shtml)
to tell us what kinds of help would be most useful to you and why your
campaign should be considered one of the most viable, most critical or most
interesting Green campaigns in the nation right now. Contact us early and
often if you have questions. We want to help, and we need to hear from you
-- as early as possible -- in order to be helpful.

The revised (and, we hope, simplified) questionnaire is online NOW for the
late grant making cycle. Completed questionnaires must be received by
September 15 for the Late 2005 cycle/ early 2006 cycle. Decisions about
matching funds and other specific resources will be made within 30 days of
the deadline.

If you have any questions or need any help with the questionnaires, please
contact Brent McMillan, political director of the Green Party, at
(202)319-7194 or brent at gp.org. We look forward to hearing from you -- and
thank you for carrying the Green banner this year!
