Can you petition for the Green Party?

Party membership in Ohio is determined by which party's ballot you vote in the primary election. According to

Ohio Law a member of one party may not circulate petitions for another party. In the past our candidates have

been considered independents running as members of a Political Action Committee. This is no longer the case.

Our new legal status as a political party dictates that must use unaffiliated voters to circulate our ballot

petitions. We cannot use volunteers who have voted in another party's primary.

Only unaffiliated electors may circulate Green Party petitions. You are an unaffiliated elector if:

1) You are not yet a registered voter.

or

2) You are not an Ohio resident.

or

3) You have not voted in another party's primary (Republican or Democrat) since 2008, including the 2008

primary.

If you would like to help circulate petitions and meet these requirements contact Tim Kettler at 740 502 6453

or email him at tmkettler@aol.com .

 STATEWIDE PETITIONING DRIVE IS UNDERWAY!
 
Our goal to gather 500 petition signatures to be on the May Primary and the November General Election in 2010 is now underway!
 
If you would like to circulate petitions or have petition circulators come to your area of the state, please contact campaign headquarters using the contact information form in the box below.
 
 

We hope you'll find the information you need on this site to make an informed decision. We look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions or need further information.

Support Dennis!

Green Party Candidates do not accept donations from Lobbyists or Political Action Committees!

Now is the time to show your support for public funding of political campaigns and help Dennis Spisak win the 2010 election for Ohio Governor! 

A key component of Dennis' s strategy to win is the grassroots funding available to statewide candidates in Ohio. By taking advantage of the Ohio Income Tax Credit for Campaign Contributions, we can prove the viability of publicly funded campaigns and help bring an end to corporate and special interest control of our elections.

This is not a check-off contribution to a common fund but a full tax credit for campaign contributions to a specific candidate of up to $50 per individual or $100 for couples filing jointly. This is not a deduction. It is a full tax credit. You will be reimbursed with a credit towards the taxes you are assessed by the State of Ohio when you file your 2010 return. This is a great way to promote the new priorities that need to be enacted if we are to move beyond the failed policies of our present corporate funded leadership.

By donating now, you will help Dennis raise funds to run a winning campaign and direct our government to spend your tax dollars in support of the issues that are important to you and your family.

Please make your check payable to:

Spisak for Governor

548 Poland Ave.

Struthers,Ohio 44471

Donate the full amount and receive the full tax credit. Remember to file this donation with your 2010 Ohio Income Tax to receive the 2010 credit. Act now. Don’t let these funds go unused!

Ohio law mandates that your check must have your full name and address on it - PO boxes are not allowed. Contributions over $100 must include your employer’s name.

Our Candidate for Single -Payer Health Care,  Economic Growth, the Environment, and Education that works for YOU!

Dennis Spisak is an Ohio Green Party's Candidate for Ohio Governor in 2010! It's time we send a Progressive Liberal to Columbus to bring back Renewable Energy Jobs, Single-Payer Health Care for All, and Clean Fair Elections back to Ohio! I am running for Governor because I believe we must send a representative to Columbus who will address the issues facing regular citizens, not Lobbyists or Corporation PACs. My campaign will focus on the issues that Ohioans care about: affordable health care, economic fairness, quality public education, and bringing renewable energy manufacturing jobs to the state. I am not afraid to call for Health Care for All Ohioans, economic justice, and nothing less than a renewal of Ohio's sense of community and promise of equal opportunity for all citizens

Our Lt. Governor Running Mate-Anita Rios

Anita Rios has been an active member of the Ohio Green Party since 2000. She is Co-Convener of the Ohio Green Party and the Toledo President of NOW. She is a representative to the National Green Party, and a well-respected leader who has worn many hats at the state level. Anita will bring a unique perspective to the office of Lt. Governor. As the daughter of migrant farm workers, she learned early in her childhood that hard work, family loyalty, and sacrifice don’t always guarantee you the American Dream.

She overcame great social inequities through perseverance and determination. She was able to earn a college degree at the age of 31 and find a better life for herself and those she loves. Because of her long, productive history of activism focused on social justice, Anita will be a strong advocate for everyone who seeks opportunity for themselves and their children in this land of plenty.

Spisak for Governor, Molly Spisak, Treasurer. 548 Poland Ave,
