Clint Jones For Congress

Archive for the ‘Announcements’ Category

In accordance with the Constitution of the Libertarian Party of Colorado, Article VIII, Section 5(a), I am submitting a letter of intent to the LPCO Convention and the LPCO Board of Directors of my candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives from the 1st Congressional District of the State of Colorado.

My qualifications are:

1. By the State Convention, I will be 63 years old and am retired from the Human Resources profession and am active part-time with a small number of real estate investments. I am a U.S. citizen born in Illinois and have been in Colorado since 1972.

2. My Libertarian National Committee card shows me a Libertarian since 1/31/1991 although I was voting Libertarian in the late 80’s.

3. My strong LP activity began in 2005 as the non-Board Membership Administrator reporting to the Outreach Director and was selected to the Board after the 2006 State Convention made Membership a Board position.

4. I have been a Gold Club 1776 member of LPCO since June, 2006.

5. My focus has always been to get the word “Libertarian” in front of each voter twice a day. In 2007 I purchased 432 Libertarian caps (there are about 40 left) as contribution premiums to further that focus.

6. In 2008, I contributed $2700 total to the LPCO, National LP, and the Presidential/VP ticket. I called 450 CO registered Libertarian voters raising contributions for the LPCO. I sold 80 Libertarian caps at the National Convention for $10 each. I raised $9000, outside of the LPCO contributions, to fund mobile billboards which were driven around Denver during the Libertarian National Convention and the Democratic National Convention.

7. In 2009, I made over 1000 phone calls to registered Libertarian voters in Denver County to find who may be contributors and activists to a Libertarian candidate and identified 200 of the @600 voters I was able to contact that said yes.

8. I am planning a budget of $40,000 (half from me) to purchase and disseminate up to 10,000 brochures, 250 yard signs, 2 stationary 14’ X 48’ billboards in high traffic areas, and possibly some smaller stationary billboards. All marketing collateral will have the word “Libertarian” on them in keeping with my focus. And, with the slogans I have, all billboards will help other Libertarian candidates.
