Colin Ross has this morning launched the Wolverhampton South West Liberal Democrat 2009 Fighting Fund. To win in Wolverhampton South West in the General Election we need to raise a substantial amount of money. If you wish to donate to the fund, or the sign up to a monthly, quarterly or annual Standing Order please contact Colin at colin@wolverhamptonlibdems.org.uk
Colin Ross, Wolverhampton South West's Liberal Democrat candidate at the General Election said "If this swing was repeated locally we would win Wolverhampton South West at the next General Election, it should result in us winning Graiseley, Park and St. Peters wards at the local elections this May. However all our campaigning costs lots money which is why I have this morning set up a fighting fund"
Colin added "This victory has stunned Labour and relegates David Cameron's Conservative Party to fourth in his first major electoral test since becoming Conservative leader. The Liberal Democrats have won both the by-elections held since the General Election, firstly Cheadle beating the Conservatives and now in Dunfermline and West Fife beating Labour, this shows there are no no-go areas for the Liberal Democrats."
