"You helped alleviate my personal hesitation about seeking legal help by clearly explaining how you could help and listening to what I had to say. You took the necessary time to understand not only my case, but what my personal goals were, and how we might best combine the two. You laid out options and offered your experienced advice when needed, and also listened to my ideas. I felt much more like you were a trusted friend offering advice and helping me execute, than just counsel. And I have always felt you had my best interests in mind. I very much appreciate your help!"

Green Party to court over petition gathering deadline

December 4th, 2009

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton will hear arguments in Arizona Green Party v Bennett on January 11, 2010 at 11:30 a.m.in Phoenix.

The party is asking for a temporary restraining order to let it use out-of-state residents to help circulate its petition for party status. The party also asks for more time to complete the petition. The statutory deadline was moved from March 2010 to February 2010 by a bill that passed earlier this year.

“There are precedents that say that when a state moves a deadline to an earlier point, it cannot implement that earlier deadline in the middle of petitioning season, but should make the new deadline effective for the next election,” the party stated.
