>Kevin, either you failed to recruit them to work with the LP, or I did. Or
maybe someone else did?

I want to be clear that I don't take this negatively or with hostility, but
it's really not that simple.  Many of them very actively expressed that
they did NOT want to have anything to do with the formal LP and questioned
why I would dedicate so much time to the party when I clearly have
resources that could be better spent elsewhere (time, money, networks,
etc).  I can assure you I asked them on many occasions.  Several attended
LP Texas events.  The female who was probably my strongest advocate and
campaign helper really, really dislikes the efforts of the LP.  She
specifically cites the fact that her time is limited (as all of ours is).
She wants to put her efforts into an organization that is pursuing goals of
Liberty - much like ours is.  But from her chair, there are activism groups
doing way more with much less.  So she said she'd rather work with them.
This attitude was consistent from many of the people in my campaign team,
though she expressed it the most cogently to me.

>Please send me their names, address, phones, and emails, and I'll see what
I can do.

I would be more than happy to send all of them an email and push them
towards involvement again, but I can't simply have the LP attempt to woo
all of my campaign team when most have expressly told me not to.  That's a
pretty sure-fire way to have them NOT help me in 2016.

Still, I will gladly reach out to them.
