Many of them very actively expressed that they did NOT want to have anything to do with the formal LP and questioned why I would dedicate so much time to the party when I clearly have resources that could be better spent elsewhere (time, money, networks, etc). I can assure you I asked them on many occasions. Several attended LP Texas events. The female who was probably my strongest advocate and campaign helper really, really dislikes the efforts of the LP. She specifically cites the fact that her time is limited (as all of ours is). She wants to put her efforts into an organization that is pursuing goals of Liberty - much like ours is. But from her chair, there are activism groups doing way more with much less. So she said she'd rather work with them. This attitude was consistent from many of the people in my campaign team, though she expressed it the most cogently to me.<br><br>>Please send me their names, address, phones, and emails, and I'll

That's a pretty sure-fire way to have them NOT help me in 2016.<br><br></div>Still, I will gladly reach out to them.<br><br></div>-Kevin<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 11, 2015 at 2:43 PM, Wes Benedict <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wes.benedict@lp.org" target="_blank">wes.benedict@lp.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
