Get the candidates out to the fairs

 

June 24, 2014

Want to get the Libertarian Party’s statewide candidates directly engaged with the voters of Minnesota? Help us fund our summer outreach, including attendance at the State Fair! As we continue to gain traction, it’s critical in this election year to be as visible as ever. These fairs consistently deliver a great bang for your buck for the 4 to 5 days each County Fair runs. And of course, we’ll be at the grand daddy of them all, the State Fair! (It was a massive success last year).

This is an opportunity to give our candidates a great platform to reach voters, find volunteers and raise money, all while consolidating their efforts under the LPMN banner so they don’t have to do it on their own(aka, saving the candidates money).

While we’d like to be everywhere, we’ve prioritized the preliminary stops below as planned out by our Executive Committee that we’d like to attend as based on attendance, volunteer and affiliate interest and our experiences in the past.

Would you be able to chip in to make these stops possible? We need a total of $3500 by the end of this week, June 29th, to get to all these and fully equip them with our literature and other marketing materials.

When you contribute $30 or more, you’ll automatically be considered a LPMN member. Contribute $60 or more and you’ll get the added benefits of our membership packages seen here.

If you are already a member, make sure to use the PCR program this year (simple a steps on how to use this are explained in the link). In simple terms, you can contribute $50 ($100 for married couples) at no cost to you by receiving a refund through the state in 4-6 weeks.

Thank you so much for your support!
