2010 Libertarian National Convention Fundraising Plan

A source familiar with planning for the 2010 Libertarian National Convention revealed a fundraising gimmick that will be tried there: Chair Candidate Bingo.  Delegates who donate to particpate will be given a 5×5 bingo card of numbers, and a numbered list of the top catch-phrases of each of the Chair candidates.  The first delegate to complete 5 squares across or down for a given Chair candidate’s speech will receive one of the few surviving pre-first-convention copies of the original 1972 Temporary Platform of the Libertarian Party, signed by LP founder David Nolan.

The source also leaked the catch-phrase list for Chair candidate Ernest Hancock:
