have been checking with Charles Tuttle the Petitioner, and they (3) are
interested in doing the SD petition drive. Checked on requirements, and
it is 6,936 signatures. My understanding, unlike ND, is they have to be
registered voters, but the petitioners can register them as well as get their
signatures. Deadline is 5 March 2016, but naturally they do not
want to collect in the dead of winter, so our realistic deadline should be by
the end of November to avoid cold weather as well as give the SD party time to
get candidates on line.</span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

make this effort worthwhile, I would suggest we also offer a $5 bounty if
they give out membership applications and they later enroll in the party.
I would be willing to sponsor $2 of that $5. I think anyone who
enrolls in the party during the time of petitioning, and up to one month
afterwards, should be credited to the efforts of the petitioners.
Actually, if Wes was willing to go along with it, I think it would
benefit the party if we even gave a $10 per new member bounty, because the
party would still come out way ahead. We would need to get them a good
supply of membership applications to hand out.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
