[Lnc-business] Fwd: Ending Oklahoma paid petition drive on January 18th (today)

Fri Jan 22 01:55:07 EST 2016

Thanks for having sent out this information, Wes.

Now that the petition is ended (at least I think it is), do we have the
numbers yet?

I would be very interested in the following data points:

1) How many different people we employed to collect signatures
2) How many signatures we collected in total
3) How many VALID signatures we collected
4) What the total cost was for all of the signature collection

And before anybody thinks there's some interest to twist it around, I'm
simply interested in archiving this data for the future so that we have
better records next time it comes up.  It seems to me that we do a lot of
guess work around here.  It also seems to me that in order to improve upon
that we really need to be more diligent with data.  As always, apologies if
I'm mistaken, but I certainly don't know of any available resource that
houses data like this.  I'd like to help improve that any which way I can.
