My name is Brian Hamel, a long-time Libertarian residing in Connecticut.
During our 2008 national convention, the Libertarians proudly nominated
Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root, to represent the Libertarian Party in
this presidential election.
With Congressman Ron Paul dropping out of the race, a group of Ron
Paul-ites and there Ron Paul Revolution got together to put together a
Money Bomb for the Barr/Root campaign. The bomb has been scheduled for
July 2. They have been working very hard to promote this money drive for
a long time. More info can be found at the website -- www.barrbomb.
Most importantly, the campaign needs the money. Currently, the campaign
has raised $303,836,97. While good, we can do better. To feel the real
need for donations, check out this part of a mass email sent out
yesterday from the campaign:
Money is our number one need right now. We have the media; Bob is
climbing in the polls; and our grassroots efforts are exploding - we've
picked up 2,000 Meetup members in a week!
On top of our ballot access needs, Russ has instructed me to immediately
raise $31,000 to move into our permanent campaign headquarters. We need
to rent and install "bullpen" desk setups for our staffers. To start,
we'll have 30 dedicated, Barr/Root staffers and volunteers which will
cost us $200 for setup and takedown plus $125 per month for each
staffer.
To get rolling and cover the first month we need to raise $40,750.
Right now, we're completely out of space in our temporary location (as I
type this, I'm literally back to back with six others in a single
office) and can't fit in any more workers.
There you have it -- the need is there. Now, lets make it happen. We
need the help of our Libertarian friends in South Carolina to spread
the message. Email other Libertarians in your state (mass email if you
can), email and call your friends. Do anything you can.
Thank you.
Brian Hamel
We need to do all we can to help out our party!
Viva Liberty!
