NADER/GONZALEZ
SUBMIT SIGNATURES FOR NEVADA BALLOT LINE
THE
NADER/GONZALEZ CAMPAIGN THURSDAY WILL SUBMIT MORE THAN 12,000
SIGNATURES FOR THE NEVADA BALLOT LINE, FAR SURPASSING REQUIREMENT
JULY
3, 2008--The Nader/Gonzalez presidential campaign today will
celebrate the end of a petition drive for ballot status in Nevada
with the submission of more than 12,000 signatures (5,746 signatures
are required) to the Secretary of State.
At 10:00 a.m., Nader/Gonzalez Regional Coordinator Dutch Merrick will host a news conference on the West Front Steps of the Nevada State Capitol in Carson City.
Presently, the Nader/Gonzalez Campaign has seven teams in seven states collecting signatures for ballot access. This past Sunday, on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Mr. Nader announced his campaign will be on the ballot in 45 states.
In
2004 the Democratic Party and their allies initiated frivolous
lawsuits aimed at keeping the Nader/Camejo ticket off the ballots in
18 states, denying voters the choice of an Independent candidacy for
President and Vice President. In 2008 the Nader/Gonzalez Campaign is
cautioning the Democratic Party not to misuse the court system with
baseless political challenges and to honor the will of the people for
more choices on the ballot.
