Fundraiser
I am supposed to set up an account for the campaign today and start planning a fundraiser.
Since I dont know any corporations, or even rich people, I can't plan a fundraiser where people show up with their cheque-books! However, the good news is that since we are making the cards, signs and promotional material ourselves, my campaign is not going to cost like other's (30 grand or so).
I am thinking about a very fun fundraiser, like a cocktail party with live music, where all my student friends like to go. Perhaps we could charge $20 or $25 at the door, get a volunteer DJ (or volunteer performer) and make sure at least 200 people show up. This would cover the basic costs of 3-months office, one phone line and printing some literature.
Still, I need to figure out how to pay for an accountant (at the end), material for signs and cards, maps and lists of voters (at least $300), etc. Perhaps another 4 to 5 grand.
Hypothetically speaking, if you guys were to attend my fundraiser, what would you like to see? (we will have snacks and a cash bar).

This is my second time trying to post a comment...hope it works..Re the accountant, why don't you approach the icao or the cica and see if they have someone interested in politics who would volunteer or work for a reduced fee? They offer free tax clinics all of the time and all sorts of other things...(I'm assuming you just need an auditor at the end?)
Yeah. That's correct.
ICAO would have volunteers? hmmm. Good idea. I will contact them.
