<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The Life member letter only recently
hit homes and has brought in $4,640 to date. I'm expecting it
might bring in another $10,000, but it's hard to predict snail
mail performance this early, particularly for something this
specialized, and particularly after we sent an email for this that
brought in close to $30,000 (my new all-time high I think) in
June.<br>
<br>
I'm sorry, but it's hard to give a clear financial report at this
time due to convention bills that are not finalized.<br>
<br>
Bottom line is, I think we can make this happen if you want, but
it might bring our cash on hand down to very low and we might be
carrying some payables for a month or two, or longer if we keep
spending on more new things. <br>
<br>
I hope to have a convention hotel bill by early next week, but if
not, we can consider plugging in an estimate into our June
financials and then correcting them once the final number is
known. <br>

<div>Do we have any early indication on how well the life
membership fundraiser which just hit is doing? And is that
factored into Robert Kraus' estimate as to the income we can
expect in the next several weeks?<br>

Goldsmith is the LP nominee for United States Senate. He<br>
needs 3,000 net signatures by August 8 to qualify for the
ballot. We<br>
estimate that will require 5,000 raw signatures. Bill
Redpath has<br>
identified a contractor in New England who can do the drive
for $3 per<br>
(total cost of $15K). Mr. Goldsmith is committed to doing
some<br>
portion of fundraising himself, but will need somewhere
between $5-10K<br>
from the LNC.<br>
<br>
Should Mr. Goldsmith get 4% in the general election, we
would not need<br>
to petition for ballot access in 2016. This seems like a
realistic<br>
possibility, as Mr. Brown is a carpetbagger and not greatly
liked in<br>
new hampshire, and Senator Shaheen holds an approximately
+10% lead in<br>
early polling. There is also the potential to receive
endorsement<br>
from the more conservative Republicans once they are knocked
out of<br>
the primary in September.<br>
