National Rep. Jim Lark: we could get 50 states on the ballot; National is spending a lot of money on ballot access

Gary Johnson Maryland coordinator Eric Blitz: the campaign is working on refining television advertising which now is online; shortening them down to the 30 second spots needed for broadcast media. Need money to do effective advertising; could use some more volunteers, needs district directors, will be back at U.Md.; yard signs and bumper stickers available; one million dollars was donated to a PAC supporting Gary.

Candidates: Leo Dymowski repots that things are working out; he can tell the truth as a candidate. Arvin Vohra is filling out voter guides, doing outreach on a libertarian radio show, and suggests that we emphasize media outlets that are amenable to Libertarians. Mark Grannis is gearing up for a big push after Labor Day, signs worked best for him last time so is ordering more; working on data mining targeted internet ads and doing book signings. Dean Ahmad's campaign got off to a rocky start due to our ballot access blip, but things are looking rosy; working on arranging meetings at mosques, the campaign staff is working hard; keep up with website; working on brochures, have prototype bumper stickers; is filing questionaires, have outreach staff, need volunteers, including those to hand out literature at the polls.
