Dear John, |
|
When I declared my independence from the two-party Washington establishment and announced my campaign for President, I knew it would be an all-out fight. |
|
I knew the Democrat and Republican establishments would stop at nothing to try and block my campaign every step of the way. |
|
And I knew I couldn’t do any of this without friends like you. Thank you for giving our campaign a chance to earn your vote. |
|
Right now, I’m facing the biggest challenge to my campaign, and I’m writing because I need your immediate help. |
|
I must get my name on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. |
|
The whole process will cost my campaign nearly $20 million as we fight state by state to get on the ballot. |
|
That’s why I’m asking you to help support my campaign today. |
|
Will you rush a special and urgently needed donation to Team Kennedy today? Your best gift today will be a huge boost in our fight to get my name on every ballot – including yours. |

The good news is I just qualified to be on the ballot in Utah, and my campaign acquired the signatures needed for me to qualify in New Hampshire – in one day! |
|
The bad news is – we’ve only just begun. And we have a lot to do – in a very short amount of time. |
|
Getting on the ballot as an independent presidential candidate is a huge uphill fight. |
|
Democrat and Republican candidates barely break a sweat. They cruise to ballot access, maybe paying a small filing fee or having to turn in a handful of signatures. |
|
My campaign, however, must get more than 1,000,000 petition signatures. |
|
With all the deadlines coming up so fast, we may have to hire petitioners to help out as well – which will be very expensive. |
|
And there’s no doubt that my campaign will rack up millions of dollars in legal fees because of the roadblocks before us. |
