<p>It is very difficult to get draft efforts going, but candidates can be persuaded to run even when they initially show no interest. But, it does take a lot of people getting on board and candidates with name recognition want parties like ours to be able to display that we are moving onward and upward, have a platform that could catch on and show the potential to raise the basic funds to run a successful campaign and make substantial gains in ballot access. I have talked to several of the draft candidates (the ones that appear to most closely fit our platform and agree with our desire to get big money and special interests out of politics) that our members have suggested. The feedback from them has overall been very positive except for one or two items related to the ability to raise enough small contributions to cover basic expenses and run competitive campaigns. They realize that we won't raise as much as the two party candidates and we don't need to raise as much. But, we will need to show better results in order to hold a convention and attempt a wide ballot access strategy.</p>
