Subject:?CTGP petition update 7-19 (to the 2nd half of circulator list)

Dear Green Party CT circulators, as we move into the final phase of our petition drive, I ask you to please make note of the following, and note to please reach out to us via?gpctpetitions@...

1. ?Please don’t wait till last minute to hand in your sheets, we’d like to be make arrangements NOW to collect what you have, so we can process them and prepare them for hand in. ? You can collect additional signatures after this and we can make additional arrangements for those sheets. ?Remember that the back of each sheet must be signed by you IN THE PRESENCE of a qualified witness. ?You can either arrange to have your signatures witnessed by a local public notary or Justice of the Peace, or one of our qualified witnesses can arrange to meet you.

2. A great way to make these arrangements now is to attend our Petitioning office hours TONIGHT (Friday) 7pm to 8:45PM hosted by Doug Lary : ? - or start the conversation by emailing gpctpetitions@...?- Attend office hours for this reason and to have any questions answered or to volunteer as a driver (See below).

3. One opportunity to have your current sheets turned in and notarized will be at MOTW Coffee, This Thursday, 5:30 to 7:30PM, July 25, 296 Crown St, New Haven, CT 06511. ?David Bedell and I will be there to receive you and your sheets!

4. We are going to need DRIVERS. ?We need volunteers. ?There will be a lot of driving required to drop off petitions to various town clerks. ?This is a different sort of volunteer work but very necessary. ?We need individuals with availability during the day, when town clerks are open, who are comfortable with the responsibility of delivering these hard-earned signatures to town clerks and obtaining receipts for each drop off that acknowledge the number of sheets and signatures received. ?For larger deliveries it will be best to call and arrange a time with the town clerk in advance.

5. As appreciation of your hard work and as incentive to please do what you can in this final push, the Justin Paglino for US Senate campaign is offering a $50 gift card to the restaurant of your choice to the top 5 volunteer circulators (those not on the Ballot Access Committee or paid petitioners).?

We are at over 6700 signatures that we know of and contracted with paid petitioners for an additional 2 to 3 thousand, so to reach our goal of 11,500 raw signatures we would love to see our volunteers collect an additional 1,800 beyond what we now know of. ?This is doable, but now is the time to make the effort.

Thank you all greatly,

-Justin?
