Dear All, 

I understand not wanting the password for the page link to be public. 
As the LPCO/national joint page isn't live yet.  BUT, this entire
conversation isn't readable by our LP members.  Yet, this is a
conversation that our LP members should be able to read.

Granted CO is the state that is arranging the phone effort to boost their memberships, but for the LNC to be offering help to one state at this last-minute-before-the-deadline is gonna look a bit unfair to other state affiliates competing for the same delegate allocations.
