Drop NIMC a freep mail and ask him to create a bumper sticker saying Drop Berg/ Vote Green.

You can go in with a few creative conservatives and make a few hundred of these.

Then you can put a card table out in front of a soy burger place that takes food stamps. The old green drugged out hippies would probably pay you for these stickers. Come up with some story that Berg supports Davis in the Tosco oil refinery pollution scandal.

Wear a tie dyed shirt and birkenstocks with jeans that have a lot of holes in them. Talk hippy and green. Remember every vote the green candidate gets is one less for Berg! Find some old Nader buttons to wear on your hemp hats.
