September 30, 2014 … thru Nov 3.
We locked in our major remaining ad-buys on Tuesday, October 28th. We will continue to accept donations in the run up to the election to boost the repetition of currently-running ads. Thank you for your help!
Our statewide ad blitz is underway! We’re starting with two introductory radio ads (below), with other ads to follow through November 4th. With every ad you purchase, you’ll be introducing the Libertarian brand, our candidates, and pro-liberty issues to thousands of Minnesotans! For some, this will be the first time they’ve ever heard about the Libertarian Party. These ads are currently running on hard rock and pop stations in the Twin Cities, Duluth, Mankato, and Rochester. (EDIT: Alexandria now added for a 5th region!)
This is a critical time for the Libertarian Party of Minnesota. Will we become a major party this year, so we can be up at the podium and covered by the media, fighting the lousy track record of the Republicans and Democrats as we propose our own bold new solutions?
The demand for an alternative to the major parties has never been higher, and it’s time to make voters aware there’s a solid, pro-liberty option. The lesser of two evils still gives us evil, and many already realize that politics-as-usual hasn’t been working. Don’t put up with “the way politics has been done” any longer. We’re working hard to overcome the obstacles placed before us by the Two Big Old parties, to give you free-market, voluntary solutions which downsize government and expand individual freedom for all.
But even the best “mousetraps” don’t sell if no one knows about them. That’s why this radio ad campaign is so important. We won’t spend money we don’t have — this effort is up to you!
We need your assistance right away. By reaching our $10,000 goal, we’ll be able to reach over 800,000 listeners! We can take a huge leap forward this year and obtain major party status, if any Libertarian candidate gains more than 5% of the statewide vote. And then … look out! Many more people, and the media, will take notice of what Libertarians stand for and why our solutions work. Please help give Libertarians the boost we need to gain a seat at the table in Minnesota politics by contributing NOW.
Finally, some great news … you can help our radio ad campaign at no net cost to you! Simply donate using the PCR program. You’ll get that money refunded from the state out of the tax dollars you’ve already paid in (see the PCR link below for details). It’s like donating for FREE.
