Given that the ballot access donation page is at $41,857.57 today, the 
email below probably raised $1,834 or less.

Libertarian Party

    Dear Libertarian,


    /Michael McDermott/


    /Chris Edes/
    I'm happy to report that our petitions in Alabama and Illinois are
    finished. That's great news -- and we thank our donors and
    volunteers who made that possible.

    However, we're still $4,977 short of our $45,000 online fundraising
    goal for ballot access, which puts New York in danger.

    New York's petitioning starts next week and the deadline for
    collecting over 15,000 valid signatures is August 19. That gives
    them only six weeks! And they'll need to collect 25,000 to 30,000
    total signatures to be safe.

    Our LPNY Chair, Mark Axinn, tells me they have a strong ticket
    headed by Michael McDermott for Governor and Chris Edes for
    Lieutenant Governor.

    Our focus in New York is getting 50,000 votes for Governor which
    would automatically qualify the LP for ballot access in the future,
    without having to collect expensive petition signatures. In 2010,
    our candidate received 48,300 votes -- just a little bit short. So
    we're very hopeful we can hit 50,000 votes this time.

    Please donate $200 or $100 or even just $25 today if you can.

    for real time updates on our progress towards closing our $4,977
    shortfall.

    By the way, I thought I was going to have to ask you to help me
    raise $7,000 to get our U.S. Senate candidate from Kentucky, David
    Patterson, onto the ballot. But good news -- that money was raised
    last week at the national convention!

    That's lucky for Kentucky, because Patterson will be challenging the
    Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell.

    I can describe Mitch McConnell's voting record in one word: *ugly*.

    McConnell voted for the TARP bailouts, ethanol subsidies, Medicare
    Part D, the Patriot Act, No Child Left Behind, and Bush's 2008
    stimulus checks.

    Libertarian David Patterson is a cop -- a cop against the war on
    drugs -- and of course he's against bailouts.

    I expect plenty of Republicans will bend over backwards making
    excuses for McConnell and begging Libertarians to vote for
    McConnell. But Libertarians would be *insane* to vote for Mitch
    McConnell.

    Separately, I'm delighted to report that our fantastic 2013
    candidate for Virginia Governor, Robert Sarvis, just successfully
    finished his petition drive to qualify for the November ballot for
    U.S. Senate.

    Let's keep this momentum going! Please support our ballot access
    efforts today
