Ferrucci Going Green
====================

posted by Andy Bromage

Ralph Ferrucci worked so hard collecting signatures for Ralph Nader's
presidential drive that he came up short for his own campaign.

Ferrucci planned to challenge Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-3) on the
Independent Party ticket that Nader is running on. But he focused so much
on getting signatures for Nader he failed to get the ones he needed for
his own petition drive. So Ferrucci says he'll seek the Green Party's
nomination, on whose ticket he ran for Congress in 2004. The Greens, and
other minor parties, have ballot access and have until September to
nominate a candidate to run.

Ferrucci was at the Capitol today delivering Nader's petitions to the
Secretary of the State's office and told the Daily Advocate he's spoken
with Green Party elders who seemed supportive of the idea.

Does this mean Ferrucci will abandon his old friend Ralph Nader in favor
of Green Party presidential pick Cynthia McKinney? Nope. Ralph says he's
sticking with Ralph. Go figure.

Stay tuned for updates......
