Moore/Alexander ’08 Ballot Access Appeal for Funds
$15,000 Appeal to Assist Ballot Access Efforts
Please help the Moore/Alexander ’08 presidential ticket gain ballot access in 20 states this election year, in November, and also “write-in” status in another 20 states as well, with an urgent donation. Any amount will be appreciated!
We have already qualified in the states of Vermont and Colorado, and we have targeted 20 other states for ballot access status by no later than September 9th, less than two months away!
Because of the time constraints, and limited resources, we need to compensate some of our volunteers to work extra hours, as well as hire professional petitioners, by paying them per signature, and in some cases, cover our volunteers’ gas and motel expenses.
We expect petitioner expenses in the states of Washington ($2,000), Arkansas ($1,500), Iowa ($1,500), Ohio ($5,000), Minnesota ($2,500), and in the secondary states of Nebraska, New Hampshire and Kansas (a significant amount if we can achieve donations for the others). That is a total of $12,500 for those 5 targeted states, and probably another $9,000 for the three secondary states.
We also have upcoming state fees of $500 for Louisiana, and we have already had to pay $750 for three separate legal advertisements required by the state of Washington, in three separate city newspapers (Seattle, Tacoma and Vancouver) and possibly more, to announce our upcoming petitioning efforts. Socialist Party member, and former presidential candidate, Walt Brown of Oregon, has already been gracious to pay our $500 fee for Colorado. A list all of our contributors in a separate communication is forthcoming. The early contributors have also helped us immensely in this ballot access effort. The campaign also will have expected expenses in July and August for campaign signs, bumper stickers, flyers; plus, travel and convention fees and publicity expenses to announce upcoming speeches, etc. This is not to speak of our efforts in September and October to pay
for radio ads, cable TV spots, mass marketing e-mails and taped telephone calls in as many states as we can, both where we are on the ballot or in states where we have official “Write-In” status.
So any dollars you can donate would be most appreciated. $5.00 and up! Please ask your friends, family and acquaintances who you know that support the Moore/Alexander ’08 platform and our Socialist Party’s efforts to radically alter our economic system to redistribute wealth, gain worker and citizen control, and achieve a quality of life with a more egalitarian and democratic process for all.
Please contribute now! Thank you.
