3 PERCENT: Sykes says support is there, just not in governor's race.

JUNEAU -- The Green Party of Alaska filed a lawsuit in Anchorage Superior Court on Tuesday challenging the state law that decides which political parties are given access to statewide ballots.

Don't like the rules? Sue! It's the American way.

We WANT the Greens on the ballot-

Green= Getting Republicans Elected Every November

I want Ralph Nader to get 5% of the vote in the next election.

I hope they win. It will take votes away from the Dems.

[RJCogburn]

The two major parties conspire to limit ballot access of any third party. I don't think it's a good idea and hardly done in a spirit of 'fairness'.

The Green party IS relevant. We want the Greens to take votes away from Democrats, especially with the tight Senate contest between Murkowski and Knowles. How hard is this to get? We won a number of states in 2000 this way and we want that dynamic to continue. Heck, I'll even contribute to the Greens if it keeps them a vital party.
