Busting it in Denver, Shooting for November
Thousands of you have already donated very generously to Nader/Gonzalez.
Thank you.
But tens of thousands of you have not.
So, today is your day.
Our Nader/Gonzalez team in Denver (pictured here) needs your help.
If you haven’t given to Nader/Gonzalez yet, please donate $5 now.
We are a grassroots campaign in need of some serious grassroots support.
And we are busting it in Denver preparing for our first Super Rally — August 27 at the Magness Arena at the University of Denver.
We have a lineup of national figures on board to stand with us and demand open debates during the DNC in Denver (watch for speaker/performer announcement this week).
This will be a powerful start to our Open the Debates campaign and will mark the end of our drive for ballot access.
After spending over 90 days and 90 nights on the road collecting signatures to get Ralph on the ballot in New Mexico, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, and California, a dedicated road tripper, Junue Millan, is in Colorado helping prepare for Ralph’s first Super Rally of the season.
He worked with a road trip team that collected more than 30,000 signatures in 10 states, and after doing a couple of back of the napkin calculations, we figure that means our team has spoken with over 300,000 people about Ralph Nader and his candidacy.
Multiply those by the number of dedicated road tripping teams across the country, and our supporters have spoken to nearly 3 million people across the country.
Talk about a grassroots campaign!
Without the help of those of you who can’t be on the road but who are in a position to provide us with much needed resources, this would have been impossible.
Thank you so much for your support during the last five months.
Although we have talked to our first three million people, we still have 297 million people to still reach before the election on November 4th.
We all know that mainstream media isn’t helping our cause, so we have decided to take matters into our own hands.
We have printed 7,000 tickets, 100,000 flyers, secured an office, have a strong volunteer movement, and we are ready to appeal directly to people really ready for some change.
Many dedicated volunteers are putting in 70 hour weeks to make this event an awesome kick-off to the campaign season.
But we need you!
Any contribution helps!
We need to print more fliers to get the word out from Ft. Collins to Colorado Springs, from Denver to Boulder, and all over Colorado.
We need tape for the posters, we need office supplies to keep things running smoothly, gas money to get around Colorado. We need lighting equipment, sound equipment, and so much more to get this Super Rally together.
We have amazing volunteers dedicating every hour of their weekend spreading the word.
We just finished handing out fliers at the New West Fest in Ft. Collins and at the Farmer’s Markets in Boulder and Littleton.
We’ll put in the hours and the miles - but we need your contributions to help fuel this rally effort.
Thank you for your generous support.
Onward to November.
Emily and Ben, and the whole Colorado Nader Team
