Okay, they’re not petitioning at 3:43 AM. However, members of the Green Party will be out on the streets, petitioning for ballot access in the 2012 election, in less than six hours from now, in the following states:
Connecticut
Delaware
Iowa
Indiana
New Hampshire
Vermont
Virginia
The Jill Stein for President campaign has workers pushing forward with ballot petitioning in all of these states. More states will see Stein’s petitioners in action, as the local scheduled dates for petitioning arrive. Dr. Stein is using her campaign to promote the Green Party in general, rather than just to give herself a platform for personal promotion.
The Republicans, struggling with each other in Michigan to see who can make the most extreme statements, might want to consider Stein’s example instead. At the rate that they’re going, the GOP will be a third party soon.
If you’d like to see the Green Party advance to the status of a major contender, ballot access is an essential step. In just a little time, you can add your name to the petitions being circulated, if you’re in one of the states listed above. Contact the Stein campaign for more information.

That’s the link that will be updated once ballot access updates.

Matching funds is also important too. Matching funds is another essential step.
I for one live in Indiana, which will have five probably ballot options instead of the usual three ballot options!
In Delaware, there is no Green Party petition. Instead it is a drive to persuade about 50 more people to register into the Green Party. Delaware has no petition procedure to place a party on the ballot, and instead requires registration membership (as shown on voter registration cards) of one-tenth of 1% of the state’s registered voters.
That depends on whether you’re talking full party or just the candidate!
