>> The 25th of November there will be elections for the Catalan Parliament.
>> And there will be pirate ballots in all provinces.  :)

>> We have 2 years and 1 month of life, and it's already our 4th election!
>> Let's show you some context, and then we'll ask for your help ;)

>>
>> 1) *Enjoy our campaign video!*
>>
>> We just published it. It's subtitled in 10 languages :)

>> 2) New requirement: collecting signatures ("Avales")
>>
>> In summary:
>> - A new law was passed last summer that forced all parties without
>> representation to gather the backing signatures of 0,1% of the census at
>> General elections. So we had 19 days to collect 5.500 valid signatures.
>> - This year (Autonomic Elections), by "mistake" of the Catalan
>> Government, all parties got wrong information about the signatures
>> requisite. In Galicia and Basque Country it hasn't been necessary to
>> collect signatures at all, and the official Catalan election's website
>> wrongly informed (from 3rd to 10th of October) that it wasn't necessary to
>> collect them either.
>> - "Suddenly", on 10th of October, they changed the content of the website
>> without any notification to the parties that had already registered to
>> participate. On day 10th we asked the Central Authority for Elections
>> (Junta Electoral Central) about this requisite.
>> - On day 12th (a bank holiday), the JEC published on the government's
>> official bulletin that it was mandatory to collect those signatures and
>> that the deadline wouldn't be moved, it would be the 22nd of October anyway.
>>
>> So we had to collect the 5.500 signatures in half the time. Yay!
>>
>> Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our members, *we succeeded and
>> gathered >9.000 signatures*, doubling our signature collection rate from
>> last year.  :D
>>
>> Once again, we'll be running for campaign!
>>
>>
>> 3) Political background
>>
>> In our last campaign (20th of November of 2011) we got 21.771 votes for
>> the Spanish Congress (0.6%) and 32.361 for the Spanish Senate (1.29%):

>>
>> We're experiencing the most harsh environment about *
>> secessionist/unionist* topics ever seen in Catalonia, an issue
>> completely outside of our key points of interest. As we don't play neither
>> card, we expect to loose some of our former voters, up to a 20-30%, in
>> favor of some identity-driven party.
>>
>> However we hope to be able to compensate this with our most aggressive
>> campaign ever,
>> the extra-media attention that we've got this year with some of our
>> campaigns (#MegaComplaint, the PP-EU meeting, stopping mortgage
>> evictions, and #Parents2Parents), the biggest budget we've ever had, an
>> improved organization, and some upcoming breaking news and legal tricks
>> that you'll enjoy. ;)
>>
>>
>> 4) Please help us!
>>
>> *- Social networks (Trending Topics)*
>> Every campaign we try (and usually achieve) some Twitter #TrendingTopic at
>> Spanish  level. We'd love to try it harder this time. Would you please help
>> us achieve a WorldWide Trending Topic?
>> If you can help, please contact us at partit at pirata.cat and we'll add
>> you to an international pirate activists newsletter, to be re-used when
>> other PP's run for campaign. :)
>>
>> *- International movement*
>> As this campaign is so polarized, we need to break-through with topics
>> outside of this axis. *Our international movement* can play a strategic
>> role, as we're one of the very few international parties here.
>> We need you to let the Catalan citizens know that the pirates are a
>> fast-rising worldwide movement!
>>
>> *- Crowdfunding ;)*
>> We've raised almost 5.000 € in 15 days, and we expect to be able to raise
>> at least 4.000€ more in the next weeks. This is twice our budget in our
>> last election campaign, 372 days ago.
>> We are looking for contributions: http://pirata.cat/donatius/
>>
>> *If you would like to help us, please contribute at **http://pirata.cat*<http://pirata.cat/>

>> *IBAN: ES86 1491 0001 2120 1223 8628*
>>
>> As we believe in total transparency, all our numbers are publicly
>> available here: http://pirata.cat/comptes/
>>
>> *- Recycle successful viral media and Campaigns*
>> If your pirate party has made some Internet/street actions with good
>> feedback, posters, images, viral-media, campaign videos, leaflets, bumpers,
>> T-shirts or whatever, and you know where can we find the sources to adapt
>> them or how to contact the organizers, please let us know at:
>> partit at pirata.cat
>>
>> *- ????*
>> If you have tips, advices, suggestions, we'll love to read them, you can
>> write as well to: partit at pirata.cat

>> for all!!
