- Ballot Access Restoration Committee Needs to Hear from You
by Ben Bachrach
In early December all LPM members were mailed a letter
from Ballot Access Restoration Committee chair Nancy
O'Brien. The letter was not the usual solicitation for
donations. In addition to asking us to make a financial
donation to the upcoming Ballot Drive, the letter asked all
of us to declare how many signatures we will commit to
collecting once the drive starts in April.
Although the seed money to start the petition drive is
important, it is even more important that we get a feel for
the strength of commitment for collecting signatures.
To date 98 people have responded, if you are one of
them thank you.
41 people have made signature committments totaling
just over 2,100 signatures.
That's 5% of the approximately 40,000 signatures we
need.
75 of the 98 people made donations totaling $3,150.
That's 21% of our goal of $15,000.
Is it possible that it is easier to raise money than
get our membership to collect signatures?
I would like to hear from the 95% of our membership who
did not respond to Nancy's letter.
If you are willing to collect signatures to get the
Libertarian Party on the Michigan Ballot, please email me an
estimate of the number of signatures you expect to collect.
If you will not help, that information is important too. My
email address is: Ben45@aol.com.
Thank you.
