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

Mon Dec 21 15:09:09 EST 2015

Option D:  hold it in exotic place that we will all want to go to such as Virgin Islands or Hawaii???  Or maybe just put us all on a Carnival Cruise boat (but I suppose we would loose contact with the news media),  but the cost would probably be cheaper, and the Libertarians would have the run of a large boat.

  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.

       Wes,

  It's really nice to see visual data like that; thanks so much for putting that together!

  I had a question for the LNC in general: do we have a knowledge-base or some kind of repository for keeping up with this kind of material?  It would be really nice to know that there is a single place, accessible by all, where all of this information goes.

  When I ran in Texas last year it was immediately obvious that LPTexas had never made any effort to try to put such a knowledge base together.  My campaign team and I did our best to collect everything we did and place it into a navigable Wiki so that other candidates could use it.  It's far from exhaustive, but it was a start and many other candidates were able to use it.  Incidentally Kurt Hildebrand has been really good at creating those systems within LPTexas using our org-system.

 Anyway, if we don't have anything like it then I would be happy to setup something like this for the LNC so that we're not relying solely upon email chains for historical information in the future.

I currently predict (but I caution that my prediction could be off due to many factors such as weather, competing petitions, validity issues, math or count errors, and many other issues), but again, I currently predict we will finish around January 15 plus or minus 10 days. So be sure to check back with me before making concrete plans. See graph below.

   Wes, I understand the SD petitioners got sidetracked to Texas for a few weeks, and then will be in Oklahoma.  I should be there about that time as well.  Aim is still to hit the Tulsa area.        RolandRiemers ND               From: Wes Benedict mailto:wes.benedict at lp.org

 Subject: [Lnc-business] early Christmas present - $20, 000 for quiz door  hangers       I'mpleased to announce a check received for $20,000 to help finance  a major quiz door hanger distribution project in 2016. 

 The check was hand delivered recently by Michael  Chastain, of Austin, Texas. Mr. Chastain also recently contributed $4,000 for  Oklahoma ballot access.

 I plan to do something similar to what we did in  2010:
 http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/lp-monday-message-help-reach-a-million
 http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/quiz-across-america-door-hangers-5-per-100

 but this time, I want to do over a million door hangers.  I can see having the quiz on one side, and our presidential nominee on the  other.

 In 2010, we also received a $20,000 check from a  different donor to help support door hangers. With the extra financing, we're  able to sell them at five cents each and waive shipping charges, rather than selling at 10 cents each plus $5 shipping as we  do now.

 For those of you new to the LNC, I've written separately, and will write more in the future, about how the door hangers do much  more than simply provide the printed advertising benefits. They encourage local activity, etc. I'll write more about it later. 

 To me, this was an early Christmas present to the LP,  but I certainly understand others might see it differently:
