[Lnc-business] Lucky Kentucky - still $4, 977 short for New York

[Scott L.]

I am not singling out NH in any way with this comment.

 

It would be really nice if we required that all states that ask for National
LP funding for petition drives for ballot access retention races must
present the LNC with a detailed plan that shows what their ballot-retention
candidate(s) are going to be doing during their campaigns to make sure they
pass the vote test.  Eg - $20,000 for cable TV advertising, speaking at a
minimum of 20 Chamber of Commerce meetings, etc.

"By the way, I think we failed to raise as much as we could for Kentucky,
and that was entirely my fault because I had family emergencies. Once the
funds were approved for Kentucky, it's harder to raise for it.

What I think would be the best pitch for New Hampshire is to "let the donors
decide."

In other words, set up a donation page especially for this, then send an
email saying: if we raise $5,000 for this we'll do the petition drive for
New Hampshire. If we don't raise $5,000 by next Tuesday, we'll refund your
donation. Of course the email would talk about how bad the D & R are, and
how good the Libertarian is.

This is what I meant to do for Kentucky, but again, it was all my fault I
didn't make that happen. 

If you vote to approve $10,000 for New Hampshire unconditionally, then
nobody actually has to donate to make it happen. If you vote to approve
$10,000 for New Hampshire provided we raise at least $5,000 online for this,
then we have a good chance of raising $5,000, but certainly not guaranteed.

I'm probably talking more than you guys want me to on this. If so, I
apologize. Nevertheless, I'll disclose I'm fine however you all vote on
this. It would be nice to have a candidate for U.S. Senate there, but I'm
almost always happy NOT to spend money too.
