LLOYD BAILEY and his campaign NEEDS your help!

He needs over 1,600 petitions in order to get on the ballot, and he needs them before May 19th!

But you can help to get this liberty-loving, true patriot on the ballot! If we can get fifty volunteers to collect just 25 petitions from friends and family who are registered voters in Alachua County, we'll have the remaining petitions.

So please come to tonight's John Birch Society Meeting to and get involved.

WHEN: Monday, April 28, 2008 at 7:00 PM
WHERE: Lloyd Bailey's Scuba & Watersports, 3405-B NW 97th Blvd, Gainesville 32606
WHO SHOULD COME: Everybody!

The following is part of a campaign message sent out today:
---------------------------

To Patriots, Friends and Campaign supporters,


The deadline to qualify by petition method is May 19th. I need you to turn
in all signed petitions at my dive store as soon as possible, so I can
determine where we stand. I am greatly concerned that we will not be able
to get the petitions in time and the other method to qualify is by writing a
check for $4,197.84 to the state. Many of our efforts to collect petitions
have been thwarted by either the government or by citizens that do not
understand the process for candidates to be placed on the ballot. There
seems to be a general dislike for candidates, which I think represents a
general contempt for our elected officials. We attempted to collect
petitions at the Spring Arts Festival and were advised that the city street
had been rented out and we could not enter to collect signatures. I did not
know that city streets could be rented out but the police were there and
they have the guns. Restrictions of this nature have made me realize that
the best way to get this accomplished will be by a large number of patriots
each collecting a smaller number of petitions rather than a few individuals
collecting many. In other words I need at least 50 people to commit to at
least 25 petitions. This can be easily accomplished at work and in the
neighborhoods. Please forward this to every one on your list.

I have personally spent over $15,000 on Alachua County campaigns and will
not be able to justify paying the $4,000 dollars of my own money in our
present ecomomy. I would also consider the exorbitant qualifying fee to be
a waste of conservative donations to my campaign. It must be realized, that
it is not a personal goal of mine to be a county commissioner, but I am
willing to do the job out of a sense of DUTY!

...

If we collect the ballots before the deadline, I will qualify and I believe
I have a very good chance of winning in November. I ran my first campaign in
2000 with oppressive taxation as a key issue and now taxes are a local,
state and national issue. In our current economy people are less tolerant of
taxes and I say it is about time. I will have a Republican primary in
August, but my opponent in my opinion is not a conservative.


I need your help and the time is short. There are over 200 recipients of
this e-mail. I estimate that we have 300-350 petitions at this time. We
need to turn in over 1,600 because some will be rejected as incomplete or
not readable, etc. If 50 of you will commit to 25 petitions we will reach
our goal. I have attached a pdf of the petition and ask you to print copies
and get them filled out and delivered to my dive store this week. The
petitions must be wet signatures, not e-mailed. You can mail petitions
to:
Lloyd Bailey for Alachua County Commission, District 3
3405-B NW 97th Blvd.
Gainesville, FL 32606
