TPM reported earlier today on the filing deadline issues Newt Gingrich is facing. It looks like Rick Santorum is facing some hurdles too. This morning his campaign sent out the following email, soliciting donations to help him make it onto the ballot in several states:
We are quickly approaching deadlines in order to get on the ballots for several key states including Colorado, Texas and Illinois. And the requirements to get on the ballot in these states can vary from gathering several hundred signatures to paying several thousand dollars.
That’s why I need your help today.
Please take 2 minutes to make a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or even $1000 to ensure that we have the resources to be on the ballot in every state.
Your contribution right now is critical so that I can keep fighting for the conservative values that you and I share.
Thank you,
Rick
