Correction. I forgot S.D. is one of those states where you can't pay
per signature, so different arrangements will be made. <br>

Roland and others,<br>
<br>
We have a problem in South Dakota. Our main petitioner, Charles
Tuttle, for various reasons, has been unable to collect the
necessary signatures. The petition drive was supposed to be
completed before the end of 2015. We're close to half way done.
While this had been set up to be more like a sole-source
contract where Mr. Tuttle was going to do the organizing of
subcontractors, because of the slow progress, I'm changing that
and recruiting more petitioners to help. Because of the way the
original contract was set up, the Libertarian Party has not lost
money on the original arrangement. In fact, the signatures we've
collected have come in at less than $2/signature on average. We
have lost valuable time, however.<br>
<br>
Going forward, instead of turning the signatures in to Ken
Santema, the chair in South Dakota, all signatures will need to
be mailed to me at the LP headquarters in Alexandria, and I'll
be issuing payment from here. Of course I'm continuing to
coordinate very closely with Ken. <br>
<br>
If you know of any petitioners that would be interested, please
have them call me at 202-333-0008x232. We'll be paying $2.00 per
signature, and no other expenses will be covered. For example,
we will not be paying travel, lodging, or meals. What I'm hoping
to find is just 2 or 3 good people. That's all it would take to
finish the drive. I'll give preference to people who are able
to call me on the phone at 202-333-0008x232, that are able to
give me a cell phone number that I can call back and verify, and
that also able to send me an email to me with their phone number
to <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:wes.benedict@lp.org">wes.benedict@lp.org</a>.
That way I can email Form W-9s and contracts and things.
However, the email use option is not mandatory.<br>
<br>
Petitioners will have to sign contracts with me in advance to
get paid. <br>
<br>
Roland, if you have any recommendations for petitioners to hire
for this, please let me know.<br>
<br>
The final deadline for this petition drive is March 29 (not the
March 5 mentioned in Roland's email below), but South Dakota
allows multiple turn-ins, and we'd like to turn in the first
batch of signatures at the beginning of March. We need just over
7,000 valid signatures, so this drive is just over a quarter of
the size of the recent Oklahoma drive--much easier. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

checking with Charles Tuttle the Petitioner, and they

Checked on requirements, and it is 6,936 signatures.
My understanding, unlike ND, is they have to be
registered voters, but the petitioners can register them
as well as get their signatures. Deadline is 5 March
2016, but naturally they do not want to collect in the
dead of winter, so our realistic deadline should be by
the end of November to avoid cold weather as well as
give the SD party time to get candidates on line.</span></div>

this effort worthwhile, I would suggest we also offer a
$5 bounty if they give out membership applications and
they later enroll in the party. I would be willing to
sponsor $2 of that $5. I think anyone who enrolls in the
party during the time of petitioning, and up to one month
afterwards, should be credited to the efforts of the
petitioners. Actually, if Wes was willing to go along
with it, I think it would benefit the party if we even
gave a $10 per new member bounty, because the party would
still come out way ahead. We would need to get them a
good supply of membership applications to hand out.</div>
