Well, here's my thinking: I need to raise the $3,500 dollars in the next two days, get the 65 signatures and get it all in by Saturday afternoon. This is doable and the financial contributions have already started to stream in.
If I am unable to gather the $3,500 before the filing deadline then any money that I have gathered will go to a Mozilla project of my choosing (mozdev, mozillazine, bug bounty, Mozilla Foundation, etc.).
If you're cool with that and you want to help get my name on the ballot for this special election then please visit www.asaforgovernor.com and make a contribution. Just 175 people giving $20 each would seal the deal.
As is obvious from my previous posts, I don't know much about the legal obligations for someone collecting money like this. I appreciate the comments and links you all have posted and am happy to hear any more advice in this area.
