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>

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>
