Campaign for cheaper insurance for young drivers decide to stand in the Dublin Mid West constituency. Below is a copy of a email sent to all supporters of the campaign

Friends

A well attended meeting of the Campaign agreed unanimously tonight to select
David Green to run as a Candidate in the 2002 General Election. A opinion
poll published in today's papers done to determine Liam Lawlors level of
support in the Dublin Mid-West Constituency put him at 3% and David Green at
4%. To be on 4% of the vote three weeks after this idea was first mentioned
in public is very significant and an excellent base to start a campaign
from.

Ciaran Kennedy the Campaign Secretary will lead the election work. David
Fletcher the Assistant Treasurer will follow up the pledges for money. €250
was collected tonight to kick start the campaign and a further €800 pledged
bringing the total to over €3,000. If a further 10% of the campaign
supporters lodge 10s and 20s into the Campaign Account (See details below)
the rest of the €6,000 needed will be got.

Starting on Saturday February the 9th and on every Saturday after that,
Campaign supporters will meet up in the Car Park of the Mill Shopping
Center, Clondalkin outside the McDonalds at 6.00pm. Two hours will be spent
dropping leaflets/Car Posters into houses and then 30 mins spent dropping
the leaflet/Car Posters into local pubs. Nearer to the election additional
work will be done during the week with some people booking some time off to
help out. For February and March the target is to go out ever Saturday and
get the whole constituency leafleted at least once.

If you sent a pledge we would like you to please now sent the money by
Cheque, Postal Order or Bank Draft to the Campaign C/O 78 Whitechurch Way,
Ballyboden, Dublin 16. Your donation will then be acknowledged in writing.
Please include your e-mail address. If you have not made a pledge but can
make a donation please lodge money from any bank to the Campaign Account at
Bank of Ireland, Tallaght. Account Number 36150764, sort code 90-13-43.

On behalf of the Campaign I would like to wish David the best of Luck in the
Election. It is now up to the Campaign Supporters to do the Business and use
this chance to really register you disgust with the Motor Insurance System
in this Country.
