News Press Release October 2, 2009

Ms. Cris Ericson is running for
United States Senator for Vermont 2010
and
Ms. Cris Ericson is running for
Governor of Vermont 2010
and she will appear
on the Official Election Ballot
in the State of Vermont
for the
UNITED STATES MARIJUANA PARTY.

The U.S. Marijuana Party has not officially
formed as a new minor party, as allowed in odd
numbered years in Vermont, but
the law in Vermont does allow Independent
candidates to select up to three descriptive
words to appear before the word 'party'
on the official election ballot.

An Independent candidate in the State of Vermont
is legally allowed to print three descriptive words
in the space provided for political party
on their ballot access petition signature forms.
This will put the United States Marijuana Party
on the 2010 Official Election Ballot in the
State of Vermont!

If you would like to volunteer to help Cris Ericson
collect ballot access petition signatures in Vermont
during 2009 and up to and including the summer of
2010, then please go to
