[Lnc-business] A little good news

[Tim Hagan]

In my case, it was as simple as e-mailing my State Senator. She was surprised that one of her constituents was concerned about a bill that would have made ballot access tougher for minor parties. She changed the bill to make ballot access easier, and it passed.

Much of the reason for this outcome is
that 26 states have made it easier for a party to remain ballot-qualified in
the last 30 years: Alaska , Arizona , Arkansas , California , Colorado , Florida , Georgia , Hawaii , Louisiana , Maine , Maryland , Massachusetts , Michigan , Minnesota , Montana , Nebraska , Nevada , North Carolina , North Dakota , Ohio , Oregon , South Dakota , Texas , Utah , Virginia , and Wyoming . 
 
We made all this progress
not by lawsuits, but by asking state legislators to do this. We are insane,
crazy, nuts, if we don’t continue doing this. And now is the time when
legislators are deciding which bills to introduce. Many states have strict
deadlines for introducing bills."
 
 
We have several LP
members who would be happy to give State Chairs or other relevant officers tips
on 
how to lobby state legislators. 
Please e-mail me for those references.
