Dear Friends With a nominal budget of 9,000€, ASMAA is launching its “Be a Blue Rebel” campaign across the Algarve (and in Odemira) against a global political budget of 1.4Million Euros just in the Algarve, with the PS having the biggest overall budget, followed by the PSD/CDS/PPM coalition (PS Tavira: 73, 618€, PS Loulé: 82,522, PSD/CDS/MPT Faro: 53,193) Read more: http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/news/what-s-new/asmaa-launches-on-1-september-on-the-election-trail-campaign This campaign is not a left versus right, nor is it one party is better or worse than another. This campaign aims to bring honesty and trust into the campaign trail. To ensure that we have the funds needed to run this campaign the following has been budget for: 1. 100 posters (1189x841) x 17 council areas – estimated cost – 2,800 € 2. 100,000 A5 campaign info flyers (both sides) – estimated cost – 1,000 € 3. Distribution of 100,000 flyers using the Post Office – estimated cost of 40€ per thousand – 4,000 € (alternative that we buy our own van and distribute ourselves with volunteers) 4. Budget for communications, travelling, volunteer refreshments and unforeseen – 1,200€ Total estimated campaign costs – 9,000 € Donations received: 310 € We still need to raise: 8,690 € If you are of the opinion that it is important that we run this campaign then we request that you be generous and donate now. Deadline for donations is 31 of August 2017. Should we fail to raise the necessary funds we will however apply whatever funds are raised to running a smaller campaign and in specific high impact risk areas. The 17 councils include all 16 council regions in the Algarve as well as Odemira in Alentejo. Let’s bring honesty back into politics! *************************************************************** FUNDRAISERS Donate now as follows: Option1/ Opção 1 - PAYPAL info@asmaa-algarve.org or http://www.asmaa-algarve.org/en/donate Option 2/ Opção 2 - BANK SANTANDER TOTTA (LAGOS ALGARVE) ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities Association IBAN: PT50 0018 0008 02686698020 51 SWIFT: TOTAPTPL REF: SAY NO TO OIL If you have a business you can donate and claim a listing of your business in our online Business Directory.
