can still use more help, paid or volunteer, if anyone is willing
and able. Right now the weather has been unseasonably nice
(actually in the 70s the last couple of days) but that's
obviously not going to last throughout the winter. There is a
ballot initiative that will be circulating soon and we don't yet
know how that will impact us - it may help us if we get our
petition to their petitioners, or it could hurt us if they
insist on enforcing their rules against their petitioners
carrying other petitions with spies in the field and pay a
higher rate than we do. I don't know how well the petitioners
are doing in SD - informally, the only thing I heard is that
petitioners who had been in SD working on initiatives left after
the initiatives ended. If they have people who want to come down
there we can still use their help, but not if it hurts SD. And
of course Roland and any other volunteers are always welcome.
Wes was already copied on this but below is my draft for a
followup letter about Oklahoma. I don't know whether it will go
out as an email blast or not. I'm OK with the language being
edited if it does. <br>

Two weeks ago Wes Benedict wrote to inform you all that we need
your urgent help in Oklahoma. We're not out of the woods yet but
I am happy to report that since then we have raised $11,500 to
help cover the expenses of the petition drive that ran over our
projections. Thank you to those of you who contributed! We are
also starting to make some good progress on replacing the
petitioners that left Oklahoma, with several new petitioners
recruited, on their way, considering coming, and in one case
already back with reinforcements. And, we are starting to make
some progress on the legal front to address the harassment at
public places where we have a Constitutional right to petition.<br>
<br>
The weather has been unusually nice so far, but winter is
coming, so we can't relax just yet. We're looking for more
people who are willing to come to Oklahoma (if you aren't here
already) and help us petition. We would certainly love to have
more volunteers, but we recognize that most people can't afford
to take a week or several out of their lives and pay for travel,
hotels, food, gas and bills back home with no pay. The current
rate we are offering is $2.50 per signature; you do not have to
be from Oklahoma to petition here. Unfortunately, there are no
additional travel expenses, so it's at your own risk.<br>
<br>
If the idea of hitting the road and asking strangers for
signatures sounds too daunting to you, or you just don't have
the money to live on on such a trip until you get paid or the
luxury of taking the time off from a long term job or other
situation you are in, we are also looking for help with things
like calling stores to help get permission for locations for
petitioners, pro bono legal help, media publicity, temporary
housing for petitioners (for anyone reading who lives in
Oklahoma and is willing to put up our road crew), and other
things I haven't thought of yet. Please feel free to give me a
call or text at 205-534-1622, email me at <a href="mailto:paulie.frankel@lp.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:paulie.frankel@lp.org"><a class="yiv1502664051moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:paulie.frankel@lp.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:paulie.frankel@lp.org">paulie.frankel@lp.org</a>
or hit me up on facebook, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/paulie.cannoli" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/paulie.cannoli</a><br>
<br>
Oh yeah, Wes wants me to remind you that if you haven't donated
to Oklahoma ballot access yet or if you can afford to help us
out again, we still need some help on that front too.<br>
<br>
Thanks again, and hope to see and hear from some of you soon<br>

<div> We may have enough
PAID petitioners in Oklahoma already, or that are already
on their way or about to get started, at the $2.50 per
signature rate. <br>
<br>
But if you can go as a volunteer for a week, that would be
great. Let me know if you are still willing. If you
collect 500 signatures as a volunteer, that would save us
$1,250.<br>
<br>
In about two weeks from now (December 24), I'll let you
know if it looks like we need the help from the paid
petitioners of North Dakota. Are the North Dakota guys the
sames ones working in South Dakota? It would be nice to
keep getting South Dakota finished.<br>
<br>
I'm copying Paul Frankel for his thoughts (which I'll
forward to the LNC list for him if he responds).<br>
<br>
(I inserted "Oklahoma" into the subject.)<br>
<br>
Thanks for checking on this. Let me know your thoughts. <br>
