Dear Friend,
Thank you. Your personal support for me, my campaign, and for the issues that I represent are truly heartening.
In just the first few weeks since this campaign began, I am pleased to report we have faced a few challenges, but also made great progress.
First, the good news. The highly respected Zogby polling organization (see www.zogby.com) released the results of its latest comprehensive national voter opinion survey and we have already won the support of 6% of likely voters. And when the results are broken out to the state level, we are up to eight, nine and even 10% in several states!
This is virtually unprecedented for such a young campaign by a third party candidate in the modern era. It reveals that there is a strong thirst for our brand of limited government, more freedom leadership.
It says to the establishment candidates and the big-party bosses that they no longer have an iron-clad lock on the electorate. The hundreds of millions of dollars already spent by the Democrats and Republicans compare to less than one million we have raised.
They may be sitting high and mighty with big fat bank accounts filled by corrupting special interests, but we have a grass-roots momentum on our side.
And that is exactly what they seem to fear. They are doing all they can to silence me in the media, exclude me from public debates and even block voters from being able to cast a common ballot for me!
That's the challenge I was referring to earlier. West Virginia
You see, today we face a fast approaching deadline to win a spot on the ballots in the state of West Virginia. We are down to needing less than 30,000 more signatures.
I know that if you could, you'd hop in your car and drive there to help us. And, if you can, please know your volunteer support is needed.
But if you can't, perhaps you could help us with a campaign contribution so that we can hire college-aged workers to hit the streets and collect the signatures needed to assure us a place on the ballot.
My campaign manager tells me that we need $45,000 dollars in the next ten days to fully fund this effort.
It is just one of many steps in the last four months of this truly challenging campaign ... but it is an important one.
Your gift today of $50, $100, $250 or even $500 when combined with other supporters will help me get my name on the ballot and our message out.
When the national media and other elites see the progress we've made it will be difficult for the establishment to keep our views from being heard in the national debates.
Please consider what you can send and let me hear back from you as soon as possible. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Bob Barr
Let's give him a hand! :D
