==Mass Mailings== | |||
The Hospers campaign seeks to raise enough money from the contacts made in the early part of the race to finance one or two mass mailings just prior to the November election. These mailings will be sent primarily to conservatives who Hospers' campaign staff feel have been disenfranchised by the nominations of Jerry Brown and Houston Flournoy by the Democrats and Republicans. Both men are anti-philosophical, "Mr. Clean" candidates who believe in big government and "restoring America's faith in politicians." | |||
While the [[Libertarian Party of California|California LP]] is unquestionably one of the most active and well-organized of the state parties, they face the most onerous election laws in the country and thus have not been able to achieve ballot status. "That's where the ballot campaign comes in," Willis continued. "If we can get 120,000 write-in votes for Hospers we'll have achieved a permanent spot on the California ballot." | |||
The odds against getting such a large number of write-in votes might appear overwhelming, but the [[Libertarian Party of California|California LP]] thinks it is at least worth the effort. | |||
