Conservative Groups Work to Place Nader on the Ballot: "Conservative groups have already mobilized for Mr. Nader in Oregon as well as in Arizona, where 46 percent of the registered voters who signed petitions last month to get Mr. Nader on the ballot were Republicans, almost double the percentage of Democrats or Independents, according to a state Democratic Party lawyer.
In Wisconsin, a conservative group said it was preparing to follow Oregon's example, by urging Republicans to sign petitions when Mr. Nader's signature drive begins next month.
'We'll definitely be spreading the word that we'd like to see Nader on the ballot,' said Cameron Sholty, the Wisconsin state director for Citizens for a Sound Economy, a conservative antitax group. 'We'll do phone trees and friends-of-friends, and those Nader events will be a great way to drive our membership to get out to sign petitions for Nader.' "
