| Description | Visitors walking to President Bush’s campaign picnic Friday were asked to help his re-election chances by signing nomination forms to place Ralph Nader on the ballot in New Hampshire as a presidential candidate.
A spokeswoman for the Bush campaign said later on Friday it had no knowledge of the signature drive.
Democratic Party spokeswoman Kathleen Strand said news of the activity was very disappointing.
Among the young signature gatherers in the lower field at Scamman farm was Randi Fellows, 22, of North Strafford. She said she supports the president.
"Some people say if Nader hadn’t run in 2000, Al Gore would be president," she said, adding that she had gathered many signatures.
About 3,000 people were expected to attend the picnic with the president.
Emily Sawka of Kittery, Maine, who brought the matter to the attention of Foster’s Daily Democrat, said she had been recruited by Adecco Employment Agency to gather signatures for Nader, but she eventually turned down the $12 an hour temporary position when she learned that it was intended to benefit the Bush campaign. |
