[Lnc-business] early Christmas present - $20, 000 for quiz door hangers

[Wes Benedict]

Kevin, I like the concept of having a repository for information. One of 
the challenges to putting something like that together is the vast 
differences of opinion on what ought to be done.

Imagine the section for planning LNC meeting:
Opinion A: hold it someplace inexpensive for board members like OKC
Opinion B: hold it someplace more expensive that will impressive people 
(NYC)
Opinion C: hold it online instead of in person

I think you can imagine other disagreements on other topics:

Ballot access:
Opinion A
Opinion B

Conventions:
Opinion A (hold it on a cruise ship).
etc.

Running for office:
Opinion A
etc.

In any case, there is a ballot access committee tasked with putting 
together best practices for ballot access. And some places with 
repositories of info that that is hard to keep up to date. Great ideas 
and goals to have overall.
