NYTimes on Getting Ballot Signatures for Bloomberg

In today’s New York Times, Ken Nelson outlines the difficulties of ballot access:

And Mr. Bloomberg, while publicly denying any interest in running for president, has privately suggested that if the candidates from the two major parties are very far apart, he might consider throwing his hat in the ring, according to people close to him.

Political consultants say that while candidates with limited means need to start collecting signatures sometimes years in advance, Mr. Bloomberg has enough money to put off making a decision on whether to run until the end of February or early March.

Ken Nelson contacted us at the Draft Bloomberg Team and asked “Why we were we doing this?” and “How do you react to the fact that some people call you nuts for volunteering for someone with so much money?”

Honestly, none of us are doing this for Mike Bloomberg, we are doing this because of him. We are doing this because we are sick and tired of the partisan stranglehold on politics. We are doing this for America.

Are you tired of the partisan stranglehold? Are you interested in helping? Then GET INVOLVED! We are building a team to reach across America and build on the grassroots need for a real chief executive, a real person who can help bring together the best that is America and drive us above and beyond the partisan bickering we have heard over and over again in Washington. We need a man like Mike Blomberg.

Join the team by sending an email to jointheteam [AT] uniteformike.com and tell us what you’d like to do. We are here to build up the coming wave of taking back America.
