 Pursuing our interests through litigation is
 something we've emphasized for the last 2 terms.  I am
 surprised there have been no bites on this, but here goes. 
 I'm going to put this out as two separate motions, and
 ask for co-sponsors on each.  I am much more confident on
 the $500 than the $2000, and I feel some members may want to
 consider them separately.  I'm also going to leave out
 how the money is to be delivered; staff can work that out,
 whether it goes through the party, directly pays the
 attorney, etc.
 1.  The LNC will allocate
 from Legal Offense $500 to cover costs in the Kentucky
 Ballot Access case.
 
 2.  The LNC will allocate
 from Legal Offense $2000 to fund a petition for certiorari
  to the Supreme Court in the Kentucky Ballot Access
 case.

 I am requesting co-sponsors for the following
 motion:
 
 The LNC
 will allocate and send to LPKY's attorney, Chris Wiest,
 $2500 to cover costs in the Kentucky Ballot Access
 case.
 
 
  
 Ballot
 Access
 
 This
 year, Kentucky sued for ballot access along with the
 state affiliate of the Constitution Party.  We lost at
 the District and Court of Appeals level.  A motion has been
 filed to re-hear the case en banc, since the ruling from the
 CoA conflicts with previous rulings from the CoA within the
 same circuit.
 
 The case is
 strong, and the motion to re-hear is strongly compelling.
 You can read about it over at Ballot Access News. Kentucky
 is one of two states (Washington State is the other, with
 their law being new as of 5 years ago) with no mechanism to
 be recognized as a party by any means other than a
 presidential support test (no party petition, no other
 office; one test every 4 years).
 
 LPKY covered the initial $500 for the filing in
 Federal District court.  The cost to file the appeal to the
 Court of Appeals was $500.  This case is currently in the
 hole that second $500.
 
 LPKY's attorney believes it would be wise
 to appeal to SCOTUS as well.  The fee to file the petition
 for cert is $2000. If SCOTUS agrees to hear the case,
 there would be further costs.
 
 Therefore the request is $2500;  $500 to get
 the case out of the hole, and $2000 to file the petition for
 cert for SCOTUS.
