I think that attempting to use that as a negotiating tactic just to see what we can get from them in exchange for eliminating that provision would discourage any celebrity candidates and only attract candidates who have no such asset. Suppose John Stossel or Judge Napolitano were interested in our nomination. Is that equitable to demand that we get the benefit of their life's work? We're not offering to give them our list.

Attached is a letter that I have sent to all of the Presidential<br>
candidates. Rather than ask for a commitment to a particular<br>
contract, I have asked that they commit to some core provisions we<br>
would like to have our nominee agree to.<br>
