        (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

        <hr><br>
        <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
          moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:paulie.frankel@lp.org"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:paulie.frankel@lp.org">paulie.frankel@lp.org</a></a>

        <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>
