I have no doubt if the petitioners did not think it effective use of their time, they simply would not do it. And there would be no requirement that they had to do it. But, if they did do it and got some results, it would mean more money in petitioners pockets, more membership and money for National, and more members in SD to make the party effective..</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438546728297_3379"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438546728297_3401"><span>Roland Riemers</span></div><br> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438546728297_3422"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438546728297_3421"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438546728297_3420"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438546728297_3425"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438546728297_3424"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> "doug@vikingmetals.com" <doug@vikingmetals.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> scott73@earthlink.net <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> lnc-business@lp.org <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, August 2, 2015 10:15 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Lnc-business] SD petition drive<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438546728297_3423"><br>I was looking at the SD membership numbers last LNC meeting..They had 20 members.I started a Facebook page last week for South Dakota .I have also talked to the new chairman.

SD petition drive<br><br> <br><br>Bill,<br><br> <br><br>I have been checking with Charles Tuttle the Petitioner, and they (3) are<br>interested in doing the SD petition drive. Checked on requirements, and it<br>is 6,936 signatures. My understanding, unlike ND, is they have to be<br>registered voters, but the petitioners can register them as well as get<br>their signatures. Deadline is 5 March 2016, but naturally they do not<br>want to collect in the dead of winter, so our realistic deadline should be<br>by the end of November to avoid cold weather as well as give the SD party<br>time to get candidates on line.<br><br> <br><br>Charles likes 10�ver, so I think a realistic goal would be 7,500<br>signatures. <br><br> <br><br>They are willing to do it for $15,000 and they would pay their own expenses<br>such as hotels, etc.and they would be very happy with that.<br><br> <br><br>To make this effort worthwhile, I would suggest we also offer a $5 bounty<br>if they give out membership applications and they later enroll in the party.<br>I would be willing to sponsor $2 of that $5. I think anyone who enrolls in<br>the party during the time of petitioning, and up to one month afterwards,<br>should be credited to the efforts of the petitioners. Actually, if Wes was<br>willing to go along with it, I think it would benefit the party if we even<br>gave a $10 per new member bounty, because the party would still come out way<br>ahead. We would need to get them a good supply of membership applications<br>to hand out.<br><br> <br><br>It is my understanding that there currently are some other petition drives<br>going on in SD, so the sooner we get going on this the better and everyone<br>will be happy.<br><br> <br><br>Of course the question still remains is can SD put some actual candidates on<br>the ballot if we put the party on the ballot?<br><br> <br><br> Roland Riemers<br><br> <br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Lnc-business mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org" href="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org">Lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a><br><a href="http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.org" target="_blank">http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.org</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Lnc-business mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org" href="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org">Lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a><br><a href="http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.org" target="_blank">http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.org</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
