The Barr/Root campaign is picking up steam!
Over the past few weeks Bob has been traveling from city to city and meeting with supporters and groups who share our message of liberty.
Additionally, the strong media coverage continues with Bob being interviewed by the Washington Post, Fox News, the Christian Broadcasting Network, Time Magazine, NPR, Alan Colmes and many local radio and television stations.
On top of that, Bob’s running mate, Wayne Allyn Root, has been hitting the radio waves several times a day to promote our ticket.
Our staff is coming together strongly as our web team has relocated from California to our campaign hub in Atlanta. I’ve also made the move from Virginia along with the Libertarian Party’s media coordinator, Andrew Davis.
We are working around the clock to get this campaign moving at full speed for our outstanding presidential ticket.
A few days ago, you heard from Russ Verney regarding our need for ballot access funding.
I need to reinforce this need to you.
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.
The location that we need to secure – if we can raise the funds – is an old AT&T call center. Russ loves it because it’s a very big open room with only two, small windows.
It really is a perfect space for our campaign team that is sprinting into what has been a two-party contest.
If you have not done so recently, please take a minute right now and donate what you can. We need $31,000 to sign this lease plus $325 to setup and cover a staffer for a month.
