<div>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>
</div>
<div>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 Wisconsin. 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>
<br>
Sincerely, <br>
Andy Craig <br>
Libertarian Party of Wisconsin <br>
