NW: Where does your getting-on-the-ballot effort stand?
PG: “Our primary [effort] is signature gathering. The Green Party needs 17,000 to get on the ballot while Republicans and Democrats only need 2,000.
“The game is rigged in several ways. No candidate-forum invitations. I need more than eight times as many signatures to get on ballot. Press releases I’ve sent out more than 400 media statewide have been discarded, ignored.
“Even the petitions that we are required to circulate are on legal-sized paper, not the kind that’s easy for people to print at home.
“In every manner large and small, new voices are kept from the discussion.
“I’ve gathered around 400 signatures so far, and people around the state are gathering them, too. If 200 people get one signature a day until the end of July, we’ll have our signatures. I’ve been going to events, Rittenhouse Square, farmers markets, any festival; 95 percent of the people I’ve spoken to are enthusiastic and ready to sign happily.
“People fed up with the corporate domination of the discussion. The Green Party offers solutions that expand possibilities rather than contract them.”

NN, cut it out. The inane comments about candidates’ personal appearance were one of the things that got your last persona, CLC, put into CLC (Corrective Learning Center which is a nicer phrase for In School Suspension.)
Looks like Darren from Bewitched only with white hair and mustache. I wonder if he has a realistic relocation plan.
