Good Morning Everyone,
As Paul mentioned, many of us have been in contact over the
weekend
with regard to the Connecticut LP drive.
Not only do they have a great Gubernatorial candidate who has
been
working hard himself to acquire volunteer signatures, Connecticut
also
has a full slate of Statewide candidates to put on the ballot.
After talking with several national petitioners, it has been
determined
that we do indeed have the labor pool to pull off this drive on
short
notice.
If we are able to begin collecting next week, we will have ample
time
to collect an additional 8,500 signatures, with a cap of 9,000
additional signatures, for the turn in date on August 8th.
I have spoken at length to Dan Reale, and the LPCT has the
ability to
do volunteer signature validity checks with a brand-new voter
database
using their "machine of knowledge".
If it is agreeable, I am able to manage the drive, including
housing
for national petitioners, and preparing and turning in the
signatures,
including organization by town as per the statute.
The breakdown of what is necessary to pull this drive off is as
follows:
Signatures Needed 8,500
Signature Collection Cap 9,000
Maximum Drive Costs
9,000 Signatures @ $4 per $36,000.00
Printing & Expenses ($0.12): $1,080.00
8% Possible Overage Cost $2,880.00
Maximum Cost of Drive: $39,960.00
Connecticut LP/Outside Fundrasing $19,980.00
LNC Contribution $19,980.00
Total: $39,960.00
Collecting a maximum of 9,000 signatures, we will be able to put
the
full slate of LPCT candidates on the ballot.
We are working now to get commitments to match what the request
is of
the LNC. I have been in contact with an additional fundraiser,
who is
able to begin immediately. Though I don't wish to speak too soon,
I
think there is also the good possibility of a significant
fundraising
contribution outside of any paid fundraising efforts.
I will be talking again with Dan Reale today about taking the
next
steps to get the fundraising going. If we can get the ball
rolling this
week, we should be able to get paid signatures on the ground
asap. If
the LNC is prepared to make a contribution to this drive, I am
confident the LPCT will be able to match it through fundraising.
Thanks to everyone who has helped put this plan together.
If anyone has any comments or questions, please feel free to
reach out
at any time. Thanks again, and take care! -CT
