<div> Thank you Nick for making a difficult but wise decision. Our goal of electing libertarians to high offices is not so important that we should risk deficit spending to have a poor chance at getting a good candidate on a ballot that he was likely to lose.</div>

<div id="AOLMsgPart_0_cdf48068-090b-42e4-9b72-4ee3600d70b2" style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>All,
The Executive Committee met 7/24 to authorize spending up to $9900 to
backstop a petitioning campaign to put Gardner Goldsmith on the ballot
for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire. The total cost of the drive was
estimated as $15,000 by a petition contractor in Massachusetts.
The next morning, Mr. Goldsmith contacted the contractor to get
started and ensure that he was "highly confident" that it could be
completed by the August 6 deadline. He indicated that he could not do
so in the time remaining, though if he had another week, it would be
possible.
Rather than spend donors' money on a drive we're not "highly
confident" can succeed, we are not going forward with the drive.
Thank you to everyone who scrambled to try to make this a success on
such short notice.
-Nick
