Roland, <br>
We have 31,721 raw signatures. <br>
We need 24,712 valid signatures. Validity estimates are only
estimates, but are around 68%. If we indeed have 68% validity, we'd
need 36,341 signatures to hit right on the nose. But validity
estimates are only our estimates--we can not be sure how county
officials will interpret their guidelines.<br>
I'm nervous.<br>
I think we need between 37,000 and 40,000 raw signatures.<br>
We don't have enough funds approved to pay for 37,000 raw
signatures.<br>
If you could make it there and collect 1,000 signatures for free,
that would be a big gift from you to this petition drive.<br>
<br>
Below, embedded in this email directly following this sentence, is a
graph showing the progress.<br>

my van packed and ready to travel to Tulsa for a week but
looking over the weather situation for the next week at the
last minute decided I did not want to spend a day plugging
along on ice slick roads at 20 mph to get there. So, I put it
off for later in month. I did talk to Charles Tuttle, and he
will probably be starting in Tulsa tomorrow. If, by chance
I do not make it later, I have paid Tuttle a $1,000 advance
against Ok signatures, and will have him credit that amount
against his signature collection.</div>

"* If I understand correctly, the LP
Oklahoma is allowed to conduct only
one submission of signatures in its
petitioning effort. If so, then if
the deadline for submission of
signatures is at least a week later
than <span class="yiv7652355325"><span
class="yiv7652355325">Feb. 22</span></span>,
my gut feeling is that the signatures
should not be submitted on or about <span
class="yiv7652355325"><span
class="yiv7652355325">Feb. 22</span></span>.
Thus, it is not clear to me that one
of the possible benefits of an LNC
meeting in OKC (a press conference
associated with the submission of the
signatures) would materialize."</i><br>
<br>
</div>
p] Fri Feb 19 should be plenty late enough
to submit to the state. If we still have
any doubt that we have enough signatures
on Feb 19, hopefully at least some of the
LNC members (obviously not all and I don't
expect most) will pick up a few signatures
themselves while they are here instead.
But I think we are well on track to have
more than enough signatures well before
then, with the only question being at what
point LNC wants to cut the funding to get
additional padding. <br>
<br>
</div>
p] I realize not all, and quite likely not
most, of the LNC will be here in time for
the turn-in, but even having a few of the
key LNC members here would add to the
impact. More so even than if Nick Sarwark
flies out here by himself. <br>
<br>
</div>
p] The Oklahoma Party has had to overcome
ballot access barriers like no other state.
They could use a shot in the arm. The ballot
access barriers here should get maximum
possible publicity. OKLP is doing well with
prospective candidate recruitment. They have
also done a lot given the ballot access
circumstances to be publicly visible with
issue coalitions and public events. Tina told
me they are on the cusp of winning the support
of a large chunk of the small-l and
generally-POed-at-poor-duopoly-choices
communities here. A shot in the arm could go a
long way. <br>
<br>
</div>
p] I am trying to put together an event or
several with several of the campaigns for the
presidential nomination. Liberty on Tap OKC is
that Thursday (Feb 18). If LNC meeting is 20-21
and the state turn in is Feb 19 that would give
us a core of dates to try to plan around.
Johnson of NM, Kerbel and Petersen all expressed
tentative interest in personal conversation but
dates have not been worked out or specific
events <br>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>but what I had in mind was a college
appearance or several (mini-tour?),
maybe some debates/joint appearances
between the campaigns. I was hoping for
January but Tina and Larry Kelly think
it's not enough time to promote and
organize the events that quickly. In
conjunction with the state turn in and
the LNC meeting would be good as well. I
can try to fit in a few college dates
right before or after. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>p] It could also serve as the
official kickoff for some of the state
and local candidates' campaigns. Plus,
maybe we can get more of them if the LNC
shows up, as some people haven't decided
whether to run or not yet. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>p] We are one day or less drive for
many active nearby state parties, such
as much (probably most) of the Texas
membership and some others. Dallas is
about 3 hours drive from OKC. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>p] Finally, and I am sure this will
be THE top consideration for the LNC on
where to have its meeting, for once I
won't have to travel to cover the LNC
meeting for IPR because the meeting will
come to me. Please, no "in Soviet
Russia" or "in Soviet Oklahoma" jokes. <br>
