Burgess108 Report for May 15, 2008
WE ARE ON THE BALLOT!
PETITIONS
I just returned from Lansing where I filed the maximum number
of petition signatures permitted (400 - plus an extra 22 for insurance)
to place Janis M. Burgess on the primary ballot for State Rep
for the 108th district. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who
signed and circulated petitions for me. The only candidate in
the 108th to put in the work of circulating petitions, I had a
great time talking with all of you, throughout the district, about
this race.
DOORS
The Janis Burgess Walking Tour is well under way. Our radio ad
(you can hear it by visiting the website: www.burgess108.com)
announced the Walking Tour in Mid-April and I've received warm
welcomes in all three counties, as I knock on doors to talk with
folks about what matters to us in the U.P. Care to join me? It
really is fun, and I'm pretty sure that all of the snowbanks (of
any consequence, anyway) are gone, now. I'm walking in all three
counties at the same time, so just send an email to janis@burgess108.com
and we can co-ordinate schedules.
SPEAKING
Help me to get our message out! If you belong to an organization
that welcomes candidates (not all do, so be sure to check)I'd
love to speak to your group. Or just invite me to attend with
you, and introduce me to your friends. Contact me to set this
up:
Janis Burgess for State Rep.

PARADES
The season is upon us! With three counties and a cultural interest
in parades, there are plenty of opportunities to walk with the
Burgess for State Rep crowd this summer. If you were in one of
the several parades of last summer with us, you know how much
I really do love a parade. Come join us this summer and catch
the view from the street looking out. Call or email the numbers
listed above for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Waterfront (first
weekend in August), Labor Day, the Leif Erickson Parade, the Christmas
Parades and any other I might have missed.
FUNDRAISING
If you've been thinking about sending a contribution to my campaign
"when you get a minute" - now would be a really great time. That
address again?

We've had great success with little house parties or gatherings
at a local establishment to share a pizza and raise some money.
If you'd like to get a few friends together to talk about the
campaign and raise a little money, those are a few of my favorite
things, too! Call or email and we can make it happen.
The primary election is less than 3 months away. We've ordered
yardsigns, bumper stickers and materials to distribute. Donations
of up to $500 per person (no corporate checks permitted) per election
cycle (Nov. 2006 through Nov. 2008) are truly appreciated. Those
of you on the "installment plan" have been really helpful in keeping
our cash flow coming in. Your periodic contributions mean a great
deal to me, as does your continuing support and belief in this
campaign.
FULL SPEED AHEAD TO AUGUST AND NOVEMBER VICTORIES!
Janis
