Freedom Ballot Access

Welcome to the Freedom Ballot Access Web Pages.

Freedom Ballot Access works to support ballot access for Third Party candidates across the United States.  Our particular focus has been Libertarian candidates for Federal office, but we advocate improved ballot access laws for all third party candidates in every part of the United States.  Freedom Ballot Access does not advocate the election of particular candidates.  We do advocate the belief that the voters should be given freedom of choice, the freedom to decide their elected public officials for themselves.

The Freedom Ballot Access Board: Steve Gordon, Tom Knapp, Steve Kubby, George Phillies, Lee Wrights. Treasurer: Carol McMahon.

Freedom Ballot Access donates vigorously to ballot access efforts.  However, money does not grow on trees.  We can only give money for ballot access when you first donate the money to us.  We are not a Political Action Committee, so we can take donations in any amount. 

We offer several ways for sending us a donation:

DonorTown Square:  DonorTown Square is a third party donation collection service.  You go to their web site, fill in the alternative choices, and money is transferred from your credit card account to DonorTown Square.  They send us a notice that you have donated.  We never see your credit card numbers.  They aggregate credit card donations.  Every week, they send us a check.  Their only significant charge is the credit card merchandizing fee, which is usually 6%.  To donate via DonorTown Square, or to open a monthly giving program, click on the DonorTown Square icon. 

Direct Mail: Please mail your check, payable "Freedom Ballot Access", directly to

What do we do with your money?  Under most conditions, 90% or more of your money goes straight into ballot access.  We hire petitioners, sometimes train petitioners, and sometimes help to fund litigation.  A few percent of your money is paid to our credit card collection services.  That's zero per cent if you donate by check.  A few percent of your money is consumed by administration.  We occasionally hire telemarketers, who are given royalty contracts, never more than 10%.  We sometimes rent mailing lists. If you are giving directly through the web page interface, no telemarketer receives any part of your money.
