Well, you can't separate the finish line from Jersey. I think we're stuck with Jersey if we want the finish line. Plus, there are some nice areas in Jersey - lovely countryside. And the Newark Airport is actually a great airport. Way better than Dulles, for example. (I'm really trying here....)

We can't buy the Finish Line time station, and the entire glorious state of California?

Depending on our budget, what about the starting station and the finishing station. Or you just have to have an ENTIRE state.

Well, I really like Kim's idea, but if it turns out that in order to get the finish line (which is, ahem, in Jersey
) we would have to sponsor the whole state, I'm fine with that.
The start & finish would be tres nifty as well, if we could get those separate from the actual states. Or sponsor both states, or just one.
Basically, whatever the amount we drum up can finance, I'm fine with it.

Oui, oui. If the budget doesn't allow for our grand plans, starting and finishing stations would be cool.

Im in!! I dont really have much of a clue about RAAM but it sounds like a jolly good cause.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I've got commitments for just over $600 (without the extra some of you said "if necessary"), but the start/finish stations were already claimed and the web site in the process of being updated. The state of AZ is now claimed also.
Next choices? We could get the remaining stations in Khalifonee-a and Joisey.
Brenda says she flexible and will work with us. Whatcha think?

How about one in each state? Or every other?
Really don't care. Just want to support Bernie.

What V. said - whatever works with the funds we have.
Some stations in CA and NJ would be fine, or maybe CA, NJ, and some in-between?
