Green
Party Campaign Raises $150,000 in 4 Days, Shifts Gears to Phase II

WASHINGTON – There will be a
recount of the presidential vote in Ohio.

On
Thursday, David Cobb, the Green Party’s 2004 presidential candidate, announced
his intention to seek a recount of the vote in Ohio. Since the required fee for a
statewide recount is $113,600, the only question was whether that money could
be raised in time to meet the filing deadline. That question has been answered.

“Thanks
to the thousands of people who have contributed to this effort, we can say with
certainty that there will be a recount in Ohio,” said Blair Bobier, Media Director
for the Cobb-LaMarche campaign.

“The
grassroots support for the recount has been astounding. The donations have come
in fast and furiously, with the vast majority in the $10-$50 range, allowing us
to meet our goal for the first phase of the recount effort in only four days,”
said Bobier.

Bobier
said the campaign is still raising money for the next phase of the recount
effort which will be recruiting, training and mobilizing volunteers to monitor
the actual recount.
