Dear friends,Thank you for your continued support of my campaign to become the first-ever Green Party candidate elected to Virginia’s House of Delegates.  You can follow all the latest updates about my campaign on my website by clicking here.Last week, I filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Alexandria along with other Arlington Green Party members to stop the so-called “spot improvements” to I-66.  As I mentioned in the press release, the I-66 spot improvement plan is “a waste of tax-payer dollars as it will only create new traffic bottlenecks.  This plan is road widening by stealth, in violation of the Coleman decision limiting I-66 to two lanes in each direction.  It is an example of extremely poor transportation policy planning by VDOT.  I joined this suit to try to stop the so-called ’spot improvements’ since the Arlington County Board has proven itself feckless on this issue.”Read the entire press release by clicking here.This Saturday, the Arlington Green Party will be rallying prior to the Arlington County board in support of our lawsuit to stop VDOT’s “spot improvements”  to I-66 and you are invited to join us!  Meet us outside the county government building at the flagpole at 8AM, Saturday, September 26, 2100 Clarendon Blvd.  Afterwards, we’ll go inside to the county board meeting to explain to the Arlington County Board our decision to sue VDOT.Also, we’ll be campaigning between 11AM-7PM on Saturday at Clarendon Day.  Are you interested in helping to staff our Green Party table and help us get the word out about my campaign and that of John Reeder for Arlington County Board?  If so, please contact Kirit at kamno5@hotmail.com to volunteer.I’ve been having a great time on the campaign trail meeting voters and speaking with them about their concerns.  I’ve passed out thousands of postcards to voters while walking the precincts.  But I still have a lot of anticipated expenses for my campaign.  Please help me print more literature, print lawn signs, and place ads in the local papers by making a generous contribution to my campaign by clicking here.My Democractic and Republican opponents are taking tens of thousands of dollars from the health care industry, banking associations, and various other corporate lobbyists.  Like all Green Party candidates, I take no corporate money because I am accountable to and hope to represent the people of my district, not lobbyists.  This puts me at a huge disadvantage, so please consider making a generous contribution to my campaign today by clicking here.You can also make a contribution via check and send it to:Ruebner for Delegate1617 10th St. SouthArlington, VA 22204Please include your profession, employer, and place of employment with your contact information with any contribution.  I need this information for campaign finance reporting purposes.Finally, I’ve been having some technical difficulties with my campaign email account which should be fixed now.  But Iif you sent an email tojosh@ruebnerfordelegate.org and I didn’t reply, please resend it.

Thank you so much for all your support for my campaign.

Let’s turn Virginia Green!
