I need your help.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping to run for Lethbridge city council this fall, but I have placed a limit on myself (for various reasons): I can\u2019t run until my Facebook page gets 3000 likes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to get into the reason why I chose to do it this way or why I picked 3000. Just know that a lot of research and thought went into this.<\/p>\n

Nomination day for Lethbridge city council candidates is 23 September 2013, so to be safe, I\u2019d like my Facebook page to get 3,000 likes by 22 September<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, my page passed a milestone: it had more total likes than any current candidate Facebook page. Things can only go forward from here.<\/p>\n

I am only at 330 likes, so I pretty much still have 90% of my likes to go. Please like my page<\/a>. Once you\u2019ve liked it, please share it on your Facebook wall.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance for all your work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
