Green Party of Arkansas website down

The Green Party of Arkansas’ website is down. According to party spokesperson Mark Swaney, the website has become “buggy”, with links not working and other “behind the scenes” difficulties. It has been pulled down for an update.

Richard Winger of Ballot Access News was apparently the first to notice that the state party’s donation page was not working. Facing a fresh ballot access petition drive, the Green Party of Arkansas would benefit from any donations readers here would care to make. Donations can be mailed to:

Green Party of Arkansas
PO Box 2423
Little Rock, AR 72203

Arkansas state law apparently allows unlimited donations to a political party, providing that public disclosure is made. The state party hopes to raise at least $10,000 for this ballot access drive. Donations are needed now to help them secure ballot access for a third time.

From the Power to the People – McKinney for President campaign:

Seven down, thirteen states and one week to go!

Will your state help make this happen?
Time is running short. please write.
We want to help you deliver results!

Here are new preliminary numbers on our progress through the end of May. Supporters in seven states have raised $5k or more to qualify us so far: California, Michigan, New York, Oregon, Illinois, Texas and Washington.

These states’ residents have already given $1,000 or more and are on their way towards that goal: *Arizona ($2.1k), *Conneticut ($1k), *D.C. ($4.4k), *Florida ($3.5k), Iowa ($1k), Massachusetts ($1.8k), *Maryland ($1.6k), *Maine ($3.7k), *Minnesota ($4.4k), *New Jersey ($3.7k), Oklahoma ($1k) and *Wisconsin ($2.1k). Colorado, Georgia and Pennsylvania are the next closest to entering the running at the $1k level. (Unaudited figures current through June 30th, 2008; * indicates change since last month).

If you are in any one of these states please contact the campaign and see what you can do to help put them over the top. There are three days remaining.

I’ll add that Wisconsin just launched a “3K in 3 Days” campaign at 2 a.m. last night and raised $1,400 in the first 17 hours – your state can do it too! (That’s right, Florida, we caught up to you! Maine, Minnesota, you’re next!)

You can donate to the campaign online here.
