I've been reading up a bit more on the special election. The good news is that the ballot will have candidates listed in random order and it sounds like the list will be quite long. That could be a real boost for those lucky enough to end up at the top of the list.
My enthusiasm is growing. The only significant bump in the road is raising the money. How do I do it? www.asaforgovernor.com will be available soon (with paypal) but I think it's going to take some real creative thinking to raise $3,500 in two days, and how to handle it if I raise some but not all of the necessary money?
If there's any chance at all of making this happen, it would have to come from you all. Any bright ideas for raising money fast? Ideas and offers of money are quite welcome in the comments section to this post.

Posted by: Kevin on August 7, 2003 12:49 PMGet your message out. Fast. I liked this from a previous comment:
"but a governor who understands technology and the issues surrounding it. Better yet, run as "pro-geek"."
Technology and California should go hand in hand :-)

(Hey, is the donation tax-deductible?)
It is times like these I almost wish I lived in California. I really wish I could vote for you Asa or at least donate money (somehow I don't think a donation from a NH resident to a CA resident running for governor is allowed).
I know this idea sounds really crazy, but how about you submit an article to Slashdot stating your intentions, your pro-geek beliefs, and asking for donations? What is the worse that could happen?

Do you have a campaign manager yet? ;)
According to election laws, campaign contributions must not be use for personal benefit. Thus, Asa must donate his money if he doesn't use it all. In a sense, I hope he doesn't spend the 3,500 dollars.
