Independence, Virginia, January 1, 2008 — National Chairman of Draft Michael Bloomberg for President, Carey Campbell launched the nation's first petition drive to put Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on the ballot in Virginia.
Draft Bloomberg Director, Gail "for Rail" Parker, "This is a grassroots effort to convince Mr. Bloomberg to run for President. We're paying for this effort out of our own pocket."
Parker urges Bloomberg supporters in Virginia to help collect signatures. Virginia requires 10,000 valid signatures for Presidential candidate to appear on the ballot. That means collecting over 20,000 signatures to get the necessary valid signatures.
Gail "for Rail" adds, "If folks can't collect signatures, please mail check contributions to Draft Michael committee 3607 Terrace Drive Annandale, Virginia 22003." Draft Michael hopes to complete the Virginia drive and launch other Bloomberg petition drives in other states.
