Act Now: Help us raise $30,000 by January 30
We must reach our goal of $30,000 by January 30, 2006~but we can only do it with your help. We keep having amazing responses from all of you. Just this last week we raised $2,500. Some of you have helped us already. Many of you have pledged to raise another $8,000. AND still we have $12,000 to go. Help us raise this remaining amount. Make your check payable to "Friends to Elect John Bailes." Send your check to P.0. Box 91355, East Ridge, TN 37412. Or go to our website and make a donation there.
Why do we need $30,000? What does $30,000 mean in a race to unseat Curtis Adams? It means three things:
1. It means our campaign will be adequately equipped for building name recognition throughout District 8 this spring. $30,000 will enable us to purchase billboards, thousands of yard signs, and several direct mailers.
2. It means we will have you as a stakeholder in this campaign. I value highly my supporters and listen to them. Your investment in this campaign builds community trust and accountability.
3. Perhaps most importantly, it means that we will begin our 2006 campaign as the obvious winner. Whether we like it or not, the candidate with more money looks like the winner. We want Hamilton County to know that we mean business from the grassroots up, that it is time for change. And you will help us send that message by sending me a check for $50, $100, $500 or $1,000.
I want to thank every one of you who has contributed to our campaign. You have given our campaign muscle and momentum. It has been a grassroots effort, put together with average donation amounts of about $100 per person. Most of our pledges right now are $50 or $100 amounts.
And we have also had large donors who stepped up early to stand behind me and say with me that it is time for change in District 8 and in the county. Without their contributions large purchases would have been difficult.
The reality is your money will gear up this pivotal campaign for a big race, perhaps the biggest county race this year. I am counting on you.
