Washington, DC -- Nader for President 2004 today filed a threshold submission with the Federal Election Commission showing it has met the requirements for Federal matching funds. The campaign submitted documents demonstrating it had raised more than $5,000 in 23 states. The requirement for matching funds is $5,000 in 20 states in donations of $250 or less."Unlike the major party candidates we are not dialing for corporate dollars. We are seeking a broad base of support among the people." said Independent Presidential candidate Ralph Nader.

Theresa Amato, Nader 2000 and 2004 campaign manager noted: "The Nader Campaign is submitting two months earlier than we submitted in 2000." In addition to submitting for matching funds the campaign reported that it had raised triple the amount of funds Nader had raised at this point in the 2000 campaign. As of the end of March 2004, 91% of the donations received by Nader for President 2004 were under $100.

The states included in the campaign's filing are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
