style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>I am currently soliciting
donations towards getting Phil Atwood on the ballot. Phil is a local Red Cross
volunteer and semi-retired restaurant manager running as a Libertarian for Wisconsin
State Senate. I am his campaign manager/treasurer, in the April 7 special
election for the 20th District. The state has given us the most difficult
gathering period possible- Dec 16 to Jan 6 for 400 valid signatures- and has
refused our request for administrative relief lowering the threshold based on
past court decisions re: special election ballot access. <br>
<br>
I have an arrangement in place with somebody who's willing help us get enough
signatures to put us over the top, for $500, and he's ready to start
immediately. Phil has gathered aprox. 100 sigs already, with him and myself and
hopefully one or two more volunteers we can knock out another 150-200 in the
next week, leaving us to need 200 paid signatures. I think it is an important
priority for our state to have a candidate in this election, which will almost
certainly be the only partisan election in 2015 in Wisconsin, and I feel
strongly that Phil is a great candidate for us to have who will make a
competitive effort, so I'm asking for help to make it happen.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>The state party will be chipping
in some amount less than $300, under our chair's discretionary spending limit,
but the state party budget is very meager at the moment. I already have $70
pledged from our local members, including myself, and except to be able to get
at least another $100 in pledges this evening here in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Wisconsin</st1:place></st1:State>. If any members of the LNC, or
other persons affiliated with LP-national, would be willing to chip in, it
would be greatly appreciated. I will have an online donation function and
campaign website up and running within the next 48 hrs, for now we're just
looking for pledges so I can authorize the agreement with our petitioner in
good faith. This is a modest effort in scale, but very time-critical and will
make a huge difference to the continued growth and activity of LP-WI over the
next year. <br>
