From the latest Jill Stein for Governor newsletter:

"Dear friends and supporters,

Please come to the State House this Wednesday morning to join me for an important campaign announcement. As many of you know, our volunteers have spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours collecting signatures across the commonwealth this summer in order to qualify the Green-Rainbow Party's statewide candidates for the November ballot. On Wednesday morning, we will be announcing the results of our efforts. It would be great to have you there.

We are choosing the State House for the backdrop of this event for a good reason. Only a party that is independent of the lobbyist money that drives Beacon Hill can stand up for the interests of voters at this critical time. The bitter infighting over the casino gambling initiative showed clearly how easily the public interest is shoved aside when politicians seek to do favors for insiders and lobbyists. The people of Massachusetts need elected officials who can rise above all this. Our signature collection effort was intended to give voters a chance to vote for three such people on November 2 - Rick Purcell for lieutenant governor, Nat Fortune for auditor, and yours truly for governor.

Please come to the State House on Wednesday 11 a.m. and help us mark this critical moment at the conclusion of our signature drive."
