Dear Paul Frankel:
The Virginia Governor’s race is “Ground Zero” for U.S. politics in 2013. It’s without a doubt one of the biggest elections of the year, and all eyes will be watching. A strong Libertarian message in this race will spread far beyond Virginia’s borders.
Polls show Virginia voters cannot stand either major-party candidate—a whopping 40% want a third choice. And the Libertarian Party of Virginia has worked hard to offer them not just another choice, but the BEST choice. The Libertarian National Campaign Committee (LNCC) is eager to help get this candidate the resources he needs to get the job done in Virginia.Robert Sarvis, the Libertarian nominee for Governor, offers a forward-thinking vision for Virginians disgusted by both crony capitalism and morality meddling. He is a candidate who can attract voters with a simple message of keeping Virginia open-minded and open for business. And he’s running a full-spectrum liberty campaign focused on themes like school choice, tax relief, free markets, an end to the drug war, and marriage equality.But campaigns are expensive—getting the message out to voters all across Virginia is going to cost money. Robert’s efforts will all be for nought if the big-money candidates can drown out the Libertarian message of freedom and limited government.That’s why they need your help. The Sarvis for Governor campaign is near to achieving ballot access. With the general campaign looming ahead, the next campaign filing deadline is now less than 24 hours away! (11:59pm on May 29th) A showing of robust fundraising will raise the level of attention received from the media, which in turn will give the campaign an edge in getting into the debates! The money raised will enable them to reach more people and turn skeptical voters into enthusiastic supporters, creating a groundswell that no one can ignore.
National reporters are already biting, as are local media outlets across the state. They know voters want something different and they want to know what Libertarian Robert Sarvis brings to the table. But they have LESS THAN 24 hours to show the media that Libertarian Robert Sarvis is the real deal.
$100 will help Robert crank up a media relations machine that earns free media to amplify his Libertarian message.
$250 would help cover the costs of production and dissemination of a single video that could take off online. His team has a great plan for viral web videos.
$500-$1,000 will pay for a sizable purchase of literature, bumper stickers, or yard signs, or fund candidate events and local media appearances around the state.
$5,000 pays for access to a statewide voter list that would allow the campaign to mail every regular voter.
We CANNOT let the Democrats convince voters that “business-friendly” policy involves handouts of taxpayer dollars to politically-connected cronies.
We CANNOT let Republicans convince voters that “small government” doesn’t apply when it comes to our private lives.
NOW IS THE TIME to get behind a sterling candidate dedicated to liberty and limited government.
Support Robert Sarvis today by making a financial contribution of $25, $50, $100 or $1000. Every dollar you donate helps Robert Sarvis spread his Libertarian message to more voters in Virginia.. Don’t let the deadline pass—Donate Today!

Great article Wes.
Ken sin tax Cuccinelli is scared to debate Rob because Rob would destroy any statist at any moment. Also, Ken is under the wrong impression that Libertarians ‘steal’ votes from Republicans. If anything, they steal votes from Libertarians using their two party duopoly.
Republican is scared to debate Libertarian
05/22/2013
According to Richard Sincere of Examiner.com, Virginia Republican Ken Cuccinelli, who is running for governor, wants lots of debates — as long as Libertarian candidate Rob Sarvis isn’t there.
According to the article, Cuccinelli wants his Democratic opponent to debate him at least 15 times. When asked if Rob Sarvis should also debate, he said, “Not really, no.”
It’s odd that Republicans feel a particular fear of Libertarians, since polls frequently show that Libertarian candidates get at least as much support from Democrats as from Republicans.
If the Democrat and the Republican really believe in democracy and well-informed voters, they should be eager to include Rob Sarvis in debates.
