Hello, Libertarians of Virginia! Thanks to the unprecedented number of people signing up with the Johnson/Weld campaign, we now find ourselves with the happy "problem" of having too many volunteers for the Virginia State Fair, which begins this weekend.
"How is it possible to have 'too many' volunteers?" you may ask. Each booth volunteer costs us $8 for their fair ticket. Based on previous years' volunteer turnout, we'd originally budgeted to have only 3 people covering the booth for each shift. But this year we have enough volunteer interest to have at least TWICE as many people staffing our booth! Additionally, most of the people who want to volunteer this year are new recruits from the Johnson/Weld campaign. This is a tremendous opportunity for us to bring in a fresh wave of eager new activists to our party. It would really suck if we had to turn most of them away because we didn't have enough fair tickets to go around. While $8 for each additional volunteer may not seem like a lot, it adds up fast if we want to triple the number of volunteer shifts available on weekends and double the number available on weekdays. All the way up to $1,080. While we do have some discretionary funds set aside for surprises like these, the state party is pretty tapped out after spending thousands of dollars on ballot access over the summer. So we're asking you to please go to <http://contribute.lpva.com/>http://Contribute.LPVA.com right now and make a donation: $8 sponsors 1 new volunteer $40 sponsors 5 new volunteers $80 sponsors 10 new volunteers Not only will all the extra volunteer help make this year's LPVA State Fair booth the best one yet but these really are new-to-us volunteers. We only have until Election Day to engage these people in LPVA activism before the campaign-provided tools for contacting and recruiting them disappear. So your immediate donation of $8, $40, or $80 will not only increase the number of people staffing our State Fair booth this year, it will also provide us with 1, 5, or 10 prospective new Libertarian Party members, activists, and candidates for the years to come as well. Doesn't that sound like a GREAT investment? <http://contribute.lpva.com/>http://Contribute.LPVA.com Let's get all the volunteers to the fair! Thank you, Jacqueline Mason Project Volunteer P.S.
