<div dir="ltr">After speaking with Dr. Phillies, I still believe that this motion, as written, cannot be executed. I will cosponsor if the amount is lowered to $5000 and the condition added that the campaign raise enough (including what has already been raised) to make the ad campaign happen, OR if a viable vehicle for actually making this happen is given. I also would strongly prefer if the motion indicated from which line the money is to come. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Joshua A.

I NEED TO GET MY NAME OUT to these people, because I may be the only name they hear. When has a Libertarian Congressional candidate had TV ads? The size of my district (largest in Mass) means that the media market is very specifically targeted to my district. It will be distributed through the cable stations (the only TV we get out here), so no matter what channel people are watching, they will see it."</span><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><a href="http://goog_1311939377" target="_blank"><br></a></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><a href="http://simmons4congress.com/" target="_blank">http://simmons4congress.com/</a></span><br></div><div><br></div><div>Would anyone like to cosponsor this motion?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Patrick McKnight</div><div>Region 8 Rep</div></div>
