We regret to announce the Lucas Overby campaign will not be able to attend the Bitcoin In The Beltway conference. Our campaign sincerely appreciates the engagement of our candidate for US House of Representatives Florida Congressional District 13 in consideration as a panel speaker addressing "Bitcoin in Politics" at the Bitcoin In The Beltway conference with B.J. Guillot and Jacob Farber.

The much needed fundraising activities the campaign has pursued this weekend and the opportunities the campaign has today, Sunday, June 22, 2014 demand the campaign participate in activities here in Florida's Congressional District 13, to support the campaign's race for a seat in the US House of Representatives.

The Overby campaign is looking, into the future, to attend bitcoin meetups in our area, engage with the Florida and the U.S. bitcoin community, and as far away as the campaign's resources and regulatory guidelines permit. The opportunity to speak at a future bitcoin conference would be warmly welcomed.

We appreciate the bitcoin donations to the campaign made thus far and the assistance in lighting the engines underneath the candidate's bitcoin rocket as he straps into the the capsule and rides the bitcoin campaign donations strategy, "To Da Moon", (with layovers in the halls of government).

Lucas Overby is one of the few, major, federal level candidates for political office exercising a bitcoin campaign donations strategy as an integral part of his campaign finance strategy.

Currently polling at 31%, Libertarian Party candidate for Florida US House of Representatives District 13, Lucas Overby, has consistently been an avid supporter of free markets and voluntary exchange. Lucas recently gained great momentum in his campaign efforts as a result of a special election based on his current platform issues.

The only opposition the Overby campaign faces in the race for US House of Representatives is the opposition's GOP candidate, the incumbent. There is no democrat running in this race.

The campaign needs $1,500 in bitcoin or dollar donations to send Lucas to Washington, to speak at the conference.

The campaign now needs $1,320.60 to attend.

Please consider sponsoring the Overby campaign's attendance to speak at the Bitcoin In The Beltway conference with your donation, either in bitcoin, or dollars here:

Lucas has been featured in several televised debates and delivers his strong insights into his views for the future of the Libertarian Party to those audiences. Lucas and his campaign are excited to be moving forward as a candidate for the US House of Representatives.

Lucas wants to hear from cryptocurrency experts at this conference how representatives in the halls of government might best insure the health of the budding cryptocurrency industry.

Lucas is working hard with bitcoin ecosystem industry leaders to increase his and his campaign's knowledge of bitcoin and gain expertise in the compliant integration of bitcoin financing for political campaigns. Protecting the nascent cryptocurrency community at large is an important consideration for this US House of Representatives candidate. Lucas feels that every person should be able to contribute in their own way to any political campaign and should be able to donate bitcoin as they see fit. Lucas is exercising great caution in his approach to bitcoin campaign finance strategy.

Lucas is concerned that candidates should be able to use bitcoin to enable their campaigns just as dollars are now. With a US House of Representatives victory, the first for a Libertarian candidate in the history of the US - and doing that while exercising a bitcoin campaign donations strategy - Lucas can assist bitcoin users in defining the role of bitcoi
