Getting on the New York State ballot requires approximately 60,000 signatures collected in April and May. There are three basic approaches to achieving this goal: Plans A, B, and C.
Plan A – The Advocate
This is our present approach. We have an advocate traveling across New York State, campaigning alongside Libertarians and others. He is raising awareness and funds for the campaign. Thank you to Larry Sharpe for taking on this role.
Plan B – Bootstrapping
This is the grassroots plan. Most Libertarians reading this can identify one to four registered voters willing to sign our petition in April. The key is to find them now.
Secure their commitment now. Once someone signs, they are far more likely to sign again in future years. Each year, add one or two more.
Plan C – Chance
At each meeting, everyone contributes one dollar and buys a lottery ticket. If we win, we advertise our way onto the ballot or fund an advocate to do it for us.
Conclusion
There are thousands of Libertarians who want to be part of a successful action. This is something we can all take pride in.
