UPDATED SIGNATURE COUNTS

As of May 17, the Secretary of State had recorded over 13,000 validated 
signatures for James O’Keefe and Anthony Lorenzen, and over 15,000 validated 
signatures for Jill Stein.  It’s a landslide—everyone is on the ballot! In 
fact, the Green Party candidates ended up with more signatures than the 
majority of major party candidates for the same offices.

Our hats off to all the volunteers and supporters who made this success 
possible!

URGENT CALL FOR CLEAN ELECTIONS CONTRIBUTIONS

The James O’Keefe for State Treasurer campaign received an overwhelming 
response from our last e-mail and we now need only 1,000 more contributions to 
qualify for Clean Elections. The Jill Stein for Governor campaign needs around 
the same number. We can do this!

If every person on this e-mail list who has not yet made a $5 Clean Elections 
contribution to James O’Keefe and Jill Stein did so right now, we would 
qualify. If everyone on this list asked one friend to do the same, we would 
qualify with contributions to spare! 

If we qualify for Clean Elections, every $5 contribution that we get will equal 
around $177 in public matching funds. Never before have you or your friends 
been able to make this kind of contribution for the price of a sandwich.

This is not about raising money, it’s about restoring democracy. Please 
consider making just a $5 commitment today to protect Clean Elections 
legislation and to support the Green Party.

IMMEDIATE NEED FOR VOLUNTEERS

The O’Keefe campaign and the Stein campaign both need hundreds of volunteers in 
the next two weeks to solicit contributions, make phone calls, enter data into 
our computer systems, stuff envelopes and deliver Clean Elections forms to city 
and town halls. If you have ever considered volunteering and just haven’t 
gotten around to it, now is the time!

If you are outside of the Greater Boston area, you can make Clean Elections 
calls from home, you can collect Clean Elections contributions in your 
neighborhood or a town center, or you can deliver Clean Elections forms to your 
area’s city halls. Please give us a call at 617-628-2922, and we’ll connect you 
with other volunteers in your area.

If you are within the Greater Boston area, you can do all of the above things, 
AND you can help us at the campaign headquarters in Davis Square, Somerville.

At our campaign headquarters, for the next two weeks we will be making phone 
calls every weekday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and every Saturday and Sunday from 2 
p.m. to 7 p.m.  We will be stuffing envelopes and doing data entry all the 
time. Just call us at 617-628-2922 and we’ll plug you in!
