                        Party of Oklahoma: the deadline for paid

                        is January 17. We are almost out of money and
                        have almost reached our targets. <br>

                        Thanks to a great effort by many petitioners, we
                        are close to hitting our approximate target of
                        around 38,000 signatures paid for by the
                        Libertarian National Committee and Libertarian
                        Party of Oklahoma. We will come close to
                        reaching that target on January 17. <br>
                        <br>
                        Petitioners will have four days after January 17
                        to get their signatures turned in to Tina Kelly,
                        the petition organizer in Oklahoma. You will not
                        get paid $2.50 per signature for signatures
                        collected after January 17. <br>
                        <br>
                        We may be short a a few hundred or a few
                        thousand signatures. We may hire a few people to
                        continue collecting signatures at $1.50 per
                        signature after January 17 perhaps for several
                        days.  If you are interested in collecting
                        signatures for $1.50 after January 17 for a
                        limited amount of time, please contact Tina
                        Kelly and get approval for that in advance. <br>

                        drive. <br>
