{news} presidential petition

[David Bedell]

I've scanned the petition and posted it at
http://www.ctgreens.org/candidates/president.petition.2008.pdf so that
people can download and print copies.  It's a large file, 1.5 MB, which may
be hard to download--if anyone can make a better scan of the original
(legible and a manageable file size) and email it to me, I'd appreciate it.

For the record, here is the list of candidates for Presidential Elector on
the presidential petition. These people's names will be enshrined in the
State Register & Manual, under "Election Statistics and Statement of Vote".
Below are also the lists for 2004, 2000, and 1996:
