PARTY IN JAMAICA PLAIN

This Saturday, March 23, at 11 a.m., Ofer and Sharon Levy are throwing a 
petitioning party at their home in Jamaica Plain. Ofer and Sharon will serve 
delicious food and coffee, Mark O’Lalor will give a petitioning training, and 
then we’ll spread out throughout JP to collect signatures for Jill Stein, James 
O’Keefe and Anthony Lorenzen. It will be a great time and a wonderful chance to 
practice petitioning with other enthusiastic volunteers.

Ofer and Sharon’s house is at 87-89 Brookside Ave., Unit G—only a couple of 
blocks away from the Green Street T stop. If you need directions or have any 
questions, call Shelley at 617-628-2922.

EVENT IN LAWRENCE

The Lawrence Greens are hosting a large petition-gathering event on Saturday, 
March 30th. Meet at the Bernstein Book Store at 10:30 for coffee and donuts. 
Then, go out and gather signatures in pairs from 11 to 2. The Lawrence Greens 
are trying to reach 500 signatures for each candidate on this day—come out and 
help them reach that goal!

The Bernstein Bookstore is located at 468 Essex St., Lawrence. For directions 
or more information, call Tennis at 978-688-3569.

PETITIONING UPDATE

Volunteers from across Massachusetts are out in full force to get all the Green 
Party statewide candidates on the ballot—Jill Stein, James O’Keefe, and Anthony 
Lorenzen. Jill Stein and Anthony Lorenzen need 10,000 signatures each; Jill has 
about 2,200, and Anthony has about 1,000. James O’Keefe needs 5,000 signatures; 
he currently has about 1,200. We must reach our goals by May 7!

In order to succeed, we need every Green Party member and every campaign 
supporter throughout the state who is not already petitioning to dedicate at 
least 4 hours to petitioning over the next month. We can’t do it without you! 

If you haven’t already begun petitioning, please call Shelley at 617-628-2922

CLEAN ELECTIONS CONTRIBUTIONS UPDATE

The O’Keefe campaign currently has nearly 1,000 Clean Elections qualifying 
contributions. We are very close to our goal of 3,000 contributions, which will 
make the campaign eligible for over $400,000 in Clean Elections funds. If every 
member and supporter of the Green Party gets in their contribution between $5 
and $100, and asks 10 of their friends to do the same, we can reach our goal by 
the end of April!

To find out how to contribute or get extra contribution cards for your friends, 
go to our website at www.jamesokeefe.org, or call us at 617-628-2922.

OFFICE VOLUNTEER AND STAFF NEEDS

The O’Keefe campaign, as well as the Stein and Lorenzen campaigns, need 
volunteer help in our Davis Square campaign headquarters in Somerville. We need 
phoners on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 5:30; we need envelope-stuffers 
on Wednesday evenings at 5:30; and we need general office and data entry help 
all the time. Just give Claire a call at 617-628-7513, and she will schedule 
you to do something that interests you.

The O’Keefe campaign also needs a part-time canvass director and a part-time 
database manager. We would prefer to fill these positions with eager 
volunteers, but we may hire staff people. If you are interested, call Shelley 
at 617-628-2922.
