    Kevin, I like the concept of having a repository for information.
    One of the challenges to putting something like that together is the
    vast differences of opinion on what ought to be done.<br>
    <br>
    Imagine the section for planning LNC meeting:<br>
    Opinion A: hold it someplace inexpensive for board members like OKC<br>
    Opinion B: hold it someplace more expensive that will impressive
    people (NYC)<br>
    Opinion C: hold it online instead of in person<br>
    <br>
    I think you can imagine other disagreements on other topics:<br>
    <br>
    Ballot access:<br>
    Opinion A<br>
    Opinion B<br>
    <br>
    Conventions:<br>
    Opinion A (hold it on a cruise ship).<br>
    etc.<br>
    <br>
    Running for office:<br>
    Opinion A<br>
    etc.<br>
    <br>
    In any case, there is a ballot access committee tasked with putting
    together best practices for ballot access. And some places with
    repositories of info that that is hard to keep up to date. Great
    ideas and goals to have overall.<br>

                  It's really nice to see visual data like that; thanks
                  so much for putting that together!<br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                I had a question for the LNC in general: do we have a
                knowledge-base or some kind of repository for keeping up
                with this kind of material?  It would be really nice to
                know that there is a single place, accessible by all,
                where all of this information goes.<br>
                <br>
              </div>
              <div>When I ran in Texas last year it was immediately
                obvious that LPTexas had never made any effort to try to
                put such a knowledge base together.  My campaign team
                and I did our best to collect everything we did and
                place it into a navigable Wiki so that other candidates
                could use it.  It's far from exhaustive, but it was a
                start and many other candidates were able to use it. 
                Incidentally Kurt Hildebrand has been really good at
                creating those systems within LPTexas using our
                org-system.<br>
                <br>
                Anyway, if we don't have anything like it then I would
                be happy to setup something like this for the LNC so
                that we're not relying solely upon email chains for
                historical information in the future.<br>

pleased

                                            to announce a check received
                                            for $20,000 to help finance
                                            a major quiz door hanger
                                            distribution project in
                                            2016. <br>
                                            <br>
                                            The check was hand delivered
                                            recently by Michael
                                            Chastain, of Austin, Texas.
                                            Mr. Chastain also recently
                                            contributed $4,000 for
                                            Oklahoma ballot access.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            I plan to do something
                                            similar to what we did in
                                            2010:<br>
                                            <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/lp-monday-message-help-reach-a-million"
                                              target="_blank">http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/lp-monday-message-help-reach-a-million</a><br>

                                              target="_blank">http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/quiz-across-america-door-hangers-5-per-100</a><br>
                                            <br>
                                            but this time, I want to do
                                            over a million door hangers.
                                            I can see having the quiz on
                                            one side, and our
                                            presidential nominee on the
                                            other.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            In 2010, we also received a
                                            $20,000 check from a
                                            different donor to help
                                            support door hangers. With
                                            the extra financing, we're
                                            able to sell them at five
                                            cents each and waive
                                            shipping charges, rather
                                            than selling at 10 cents
                                            each plus $5 shipping as we
                                            do now.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            For those of you new to the
                                            LNC, I've written
                                            separately, and will write
                                            more in the future, about
                                            how the door hangers do much
                                            more than simply provide the
                                            printed advertising
                                            benefits. They encourage
                                            local activity, etc. I'll
                                            write more about it later. <br>
                                            <br>
                                            To me, this was an early
                                            Christmas present to the LP,
                                            but I certainly understand
                                            others might see it
                                            differently:<br>
