[Lnc-business] Fwd: Re: [Lnc-votes] February LNC Meeting

[Roland Riemers]

Wes,
Well last night I had my van packed and ready to travel to Tulsa for a week but looking over the weather situation for the next week at the last minute decided I did not want to spend a day plugging along on ice slick roads at 20 mph to get there.  So, I put it off for later in month.   I did talk to Charles Tuttle, and he will probably be starting in Tulsa tomorrow.   If,  by chance I do not make it later,  I have paid Tuttle a $1,000 advance against Ok signatures,  and will have him credit that amount against his signature collection.
So,  where do we stand in numbers in OK now?

      Please share with LNC.

 "*  If I understand correctly, the LP Oklahoma is allowed to conduct only one submission of signatures in its petitioning effort.  If so, then if the deadline for submission of signatures is at least a week later than Feb. 22, my gut feeling is that the signatures should not be submitted on or about Feb. 22.  Thus, it is not clear to me that one of the possible benefits of an LNC meeting in OKC (a press conference associated with the submission  of the signatures) would materialize."
 
  p] Fri Feb 19 should be plenty late enough to submit to the state. If we still have any doubt that we have enough signatures on Feb 19, hopefully at least some of the LNC members (obviously not all and I don't expect most) will pick up a few signatures themselves while they are here  instead. But I think we are well on track to have more than enough signatures well before then, with the only question being at what point LNC wants to cut the funding to get additional padding. 
 
  p] I realize not all, and quite likely not most, of the LNC will be here in time for the turn-in, but even having a few of the key LNC members here would add to the impact. More so even than if Nick Sarwark flies out here by himself. 
 
  p] The Oklahoma Party has had to overcome ballot access barriers like no other state. They could use a shot in the arm. The ballot access barriers here should get maximum possible publicity. OKLP is doing well with prospective candidate recruitment. They have also done a lot given the ballot access circumstances to be publicly visible with issue coalitions and public events. Tina told me they are on the cusp of winning the support of a large chunk of the small-l and generally-POed-at-poor-duopoly-choices communities here. A shot in the arm could go a long way. 
 
  p] I am trying to put together an event or several with several of the campaigns for the presidential nomination. Liberty on Tap OKC is that Thursday (Feb 18). If LNC meeting is 20-21 and the state turn in is Feb 19 that would give us a core of dates to try to plan around. Johnson of NM, Kerbel and Petersen all  expressed tentative interest in personal conversation but dates have not been worked out or specific events 
    but what I had in mind was a college appearance or several (mini-tour?), maybe some debates/joint appearances between the campaigns. I was hoping for January but Tina and Larry Kelly think it's not enough time to promote and organize the events that quickly. In conjunction with the state turn in and the LNC meeting would be good as well. I can try to fit in a few college dates right before or after. 
 
  p] It could also serve as the official kickoff for some of the state and local candidates' campaigns. Plus, maybe we can get more of them if the LNC shows up, as some people haven't decided whether to run or not yet. 
 
  p] We are one day or less drive for many active nearby state parties, such as much (probably most) of the Texas membership and some others. Dallas is about 3 hours drive from OKC. 
 
  p] Finally, and I am sure this will be THE top consideration for the LNC on where to have its meeting, for once I won't have to travel to cover the LNC meeting for IPR because the meeting will come to me. Please, no "in Soviet Russia" or "in Soviet Oklahoma" jokes. 
  
  
  Thanks everyone,
