Dear colleagues:<br>
<br>
I hope all is well with you. The second sentence of my message
below should read "I am writing to suggest that a poll between
Phoenix and Oklahoma City would be appropriate, and that the room
rates for the hotels be provided prior to conducting the poll." <br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
Jim<br>

Dear colleagues:<br>
<br>
I hope all is well with you. I am writing to suggest that a
poll between Phoenix and Oklahoma City would be appropriate, and
that the room rates for the hotels be provided prior to conducted
the poll. I suggest this for the following reasons:<br>
<br>
* The previous poll did not allow for the expression of intensity
of preference. My vote for Oklahoma City was a result of the fact
that I had to select one of the listed options in order to
participate in the poll. I was essentially indifferent between
Phoenix and OKC when I voted.<br>
<br>
* If we are able to hold the February meeting at a prospective
convention hotel in Phoenix, then unless the cost of holding the
meeting in Phoenix is substantially greater than holding it in
OKC, my preference would change from a very weak preference for
OKC to a weak preference for Phoenix.<br>
<br>
* A poll with only the choices of Phoenix and OKC may produce an
ordering between the two locations that is different from the one
produced by the previous poll.<br>
<br>
* 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 Feb. 22, my gut feeling is that the
signatures should not be submitted on or about Feb. 22. 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.<br>
<br>
As always, thanks for your work for liberty. I look forward
to seeing you next month.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
Jim<br>

<div>We have received bids from convention hotels in
Bellevue, Phoenix, New Orleans, and Atlantic City.
Based on the poll Mr. Ludlow organized, I'm leaning
toward planning the meeting for Oklahoma City.<br>
<br>
</div>
Robert is checking on final numbers on the bids that came
in today, and should have those back by tomorrow. All of
the other cities are more expensive than Oklahoma City,
but I think we already knew that.<br>
<br>
</div>
If you feel we should have another poll between Phoenix and
Oklahoma City, please say so. If I don't hear a strong
objection or request for another poll in the next day or so,
I intend to ask Mr. Benedict to go forward with planning the
next meeting in Oklahoma City and coordinating with the
Oklahoma Libertarian Party for a press conference on the
Friday prior or Monday after the meeting.<br>

completely missed Mr. Marsh's response. So
sorry, Ed and thanks, Vicki. That leaves Mr.
