Badnarik Campaign Goes to the Internet for Special 9/11 Appeal

With the third anniversary of 9/11 occurring on Saturday, the Badnarik campaign plans a special Meetup and Internet fundrasing appeal.

(PRWEB) September 7, 2004 -- Starting the message with Bob Dylan lyrics, the Badnarik for President campaign is appealing to libertarians and non-libertarians alike to send a message to the world on the third anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Badnarik communications director Stephen Gordon blogged (http://tinyurl.com/5trpe) an appeal for six days of online donations in amounts ending with $9.11. Campaign operations manager Geoffrey Neale stated the Badnarik site will be posting the number of contributions made on the Badnarik blog.

In the same posting, Gordon states that primary consequences of 9/11 are the War in Iraq and the Patriot Act, policies which Bush and Kerry support but Badnarik adamantly opposes.

He requested that Badnarik supporters and others show up for the Badnarik2004 Meetup (http://badnarik2004.meetup.com/), coincidently scheduled for September 11, wearing some clothing article colored black to mourn the deaths of the thousands of people who have died as a result of U.S. government policies.

Campaign manager Fred Collins stated, Meetups are a great way for people to get together, distribute literature, encourage activism, and plan for upcoming activities. But this Meetup will be special, because of the coincidence of the date. It will be a unique opportunity for us to show the world how opposed we are to current U.S. foreign policy."

In the closing of the blog entry, Gordon appealed to potential Meetup participants and contributors alike with, Friends, the world is watching and wondering whether Bush or Kerry will be the next Warmonger-in-Chief of the United States. By attending your local Meeting wearing mourning colors, and by sending in your $9.11 to $1909.11 contributions, you can tell the world that most Americans approve of neither Bush nor Kerry, nor of their policies."

Michael Badnarik is the Libertarian Party candidate for President, and is currently confirmed to be on the ballot in 42 states. He has repeatedly called for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and the immediate repeal of the Patriot Act.
