Virginia Greens including many Arlington Green Party members have begun gatherin the 10,000 signatures that will be required to get a Green Party Presidential candidate on the Virginia ballot in November. Virginia has one of the most restrictive ballot access laws in the U.S.-10,000 signatures with 400 from every of the 11 Congressional districts.

However, enthusiasm for Green candidate Jill Stein runs high this year. She is a medical doctor graduate from Harvard, and a longtime advocate for environmental health and universal healthcare in Massachusetts, and a candidate for governor who faced off Mitt Romney!
