Roland, <br>
<br>
I want to talk to you probably the day after the Monday LNC
executive committee phone call. Thanks for offering to help. I want
to see if I can find a couch or free place for you to stay in Tulsa
if you go. <br>
<br>
Also after the Monday call, I'll want to think seriously about the
SD crew. <br>
<br>
Things are relatively inexpensive in Oklahoma City at least, and the
terrain is flat. I'm not as familiar with Tulsa, but my Grandmother
lived on a hill there.<br>
<br>
Paul is staying in a motel that has rooms for $50 per day, $200 per
week. Denny's next door. I didn't stay there, but worked in Paul's
room most of two days. It wasn't so bad. I've stayed in much worse
Motel 6's and Super 8's.<br>
<br>
Gas was $1.65 per gallon.<br>

what will happen if we do not complete it?</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1449112270826_3149" dir="ltr">BUT, if
Monday the Ex Comm decides to continue, the
petitioners working in SD feel they can be absent for a week
or two and work in Oklahoma, and still complete SD without a
problem (and they do not get paid unless they do as I
understand it). We just need to give them a green light, and
it would be nice if we could have Oklahoma homes they could
stay for free and thus avoid the hotel costs. In addition, I
will see if I can travel to Oklahoma for a week or two to help
out. I have done some of our petitioning work in ND over the
years, and I usually can bring in a 1,000 signatures a week
if I keep at it, and actually do my best going house to house,
or apartment to apartment which gives me a high validity
rate. Although, frankly, I have gotten to where I really do
not like doing petitioning, as it all seems such a waste of
good effort. But I will do this for free and pay my own
expenses. But I do not want to waste my time in this. I
would probably work in the Tulsa area and if possible would
like to have a free couch to crash on at night.</div>
