[Lnc-business] Oklahoma petition drive

[William Redpath]

In case it is not known, the $30,000 donor is Richard Winger.  I will start
the other $30,000 match by pledging $1,000 as a special donation above my
monthly pledge.  That's $29,000 to go.  Yes, we will offer to return the
money if it is not fully raised.

Oklahoma had only the R&D presidential candidates in 2004, 2008 & 2012.  No
other state was that bad.  And, OK is one of six states that bans write-in
voting.  So, it was vote R, or vote D, or shut up.

Someone has got to stand up to the two party system there, and if we don't
do it, I don't think anyone will.  Such is the curse of being the top third
party in the US.  We sometimes should act for causes that are bigger than
just the LP alone.

Richard Winger thinks that if we succeed in this petition drive, it will
make it easier to lobby for further ballot access relief in Oklahoma in the
future.

Please vote "Yes" on the Oklahoma petition drive motion.
