[Lnc-business] help review Gary Johnson daily press lists - Fwd: Press Clips (8/25)

Fri Aug 26 12:12:45 EDT 2016

Colleagues,

As Chair of the Advertising, Publications, and Review Committee (APRC), I
believe I am at liberty to share that there have been no discussions about
distributing a list of media appearances of our Presidential ticket.

Further, I believe there to be a way to eliminate the need for "a volunteer
wiling to go through some of these lists from time to time and return a
list with any potential violations flagged," and I've made myself available
to speak with Wes about how to accomplish it.

Brett C. Bittner

Region 3 Representative
