[Lnc-business] Utah Debates

[Craig Bowden]

Sam,

The criteria will be based on a poll where candidates must reach 10% for 
inclusion. A high bar, but doable. I have been working my rear end into 
the ground with events, outreach, meeting voters, canvassing, and phone 
banking.

We are also getting some earned media as well. So there is a lot more 
name recognition going on than what is normally afforded. We essentially 
kept sending in corrections to be included in articles and responding 
with Libertarian positions on issues when they were reporting on other 
candidate statements.

This is a pretty good shot if we play it just right. We are putting all 
our efforts into getting Bowden in front of voters in print, digital, 
billboards, etc.

In Liberty,
Craig Bowden
