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><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7686"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7687">So, where do we stand in numbers in OK now?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7663"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7664" dir="ltr">Roland Riemers<br></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7467"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7697" style="display: block;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7696" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7695" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Wes Benedict <wes.benedict@lp.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> lnc-business@hq.lp.org <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, January 6, 2016 10:47 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [Lnc-business] Fwd: Re: [Lnc-votes] February LNC Meeting<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452101417857_7694"><br><div id="yiv7652355325">

"* 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>
