interested put together by <u></u><u></u>Colorado<u></u><u></u>'s

this themselves regardless of any decision from National but during discussion
it was raised that since this has more of a national scope that it would be
under National's interest to get involved. <u></u><u></u>Colorado<u></u><u></u> does not, however, want the
opportunity to be missed and since it is happening on their home soil, have
stepped up. I also note that I do not have any knowledge of any insurance

that is held in 2 cities on separate dates in September. This event is
extremely popular as people travel from across the county and internationally
to attend. </span></font><font size="2" color="black"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">There are five to six stages in all.
Vendor tents are placed outside, usually along the perimeter of the fenced in
area by the outdoor stages. Attendance is expected to be approximately 40,000
per day, so there are a lot of people walking around from stage to stage. There
is ample space to speak to the festival goers at our outside tent. We will be
able to carry on conversations with potential voters. We can also
expect national media coverage as MTV, Rolling Stone, Huffington Post amongst
others have covered the event in the past. The target demographic
will be the disenchanted Bernie Sanders supporters, Independents and anyone
looking for a 3<sup>rd</sup> party option. As the event is
built around, but not limited to, Punk Rock there are heavy political
undertones. I have also been in contact with Seth Levy from the Gary
Johnson campaign who says that this event is “right up his ally” however due to
potential security concerns at that point in the campaign can not guarantee his
appearance.</span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-size:9.5pt"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">The cost for a booth at the event was $800
last year, with a 10% discount for non-profit vendors, we can expect the same
this year. The ROI for the National Party will be exposure to
120,000 voters from around the country, plus the potential for national media
coverage. In the spirit of ‘putting my money where my mouth is’ I
have agreed to donate the first $100 to the event. The LP has been
accused of only ‘sitting around and talking about liberty in it’s purist form’
and never ‘showing up.’ Now more than ever we need to challenge that
notion and get out in front of as many people as possible. If there
was ever a time to ‘go for broke,’ that time is now.</span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-size:9.5pt"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
