It has been brought to my attention that there is a
good chance that Cynthia will not have ballot access
in CT.
I need your help to get Ralph Nader on the ballot. We
are out doing Sail Fest this weekend on Sat 10AM-11PM
and Sun. 10AM-6PM and will have a booth on Bank ST.
If you will help me this weekend get Ralph on the
ballot I will help coordinate to get Cynthia on the
ballot.
Also if you like you can double petition at this
event.
