I have the business cards and door hangers with more on order plus I just received a partial shipment yesterday on my second larger order of yard signs delivered <u>in just four days</u> (GOOD JOB!) We have ongoing canvasing campaigns in Nebraska. However, per Mike Shannon’s suggestion, I was thinking in broader terms of targeting potential electoral votes in states like Utah, Montana and District 2 in Nebraska (Omaha) due to the electoral split legislation unique to Maine and Nebraska. I was prepared to help Mike Shannon’s September ‘Win the West’ Utah blitz but we had to back off on that at least temporarily due to the LP campaign toe stub in Utah.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'>Until I hear other suggestions, we will focus our LPNE efforts on District 2 in Nebraska with the help of Laura Ebke and give Dave Hunt a hand in his Washington County supervisor campaign just north of Omaha. Our current schedule calls for two canvasing events every weekend in Omaha plus helping Dave Hunt but we are open to suggestions and volunteer external reinforcements, logistics and strategy assistance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'>It might be a little late in the game, but what about college football schedules targeted at large university cities or nearby events with Johnson/Weld on the backside. Jeremy Jensen (Cutthroat Printing in Omaha), Laura Ebke’s campaign manager, printed up 5000 Husker football schedules with Laura on the backside. We handed out over 1000 during the Wilber Czech Days parade as part of our “Walk for Laura Ebke” with a banner and Laura leading the way in a place of honor right behind the Governor’s entourage at the head of the parade. Those football schedules were a real hit and an easy handout.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'>How soon do we need to increase the budget for campaign materials?

games - people will put them in their pockets or wallets and look at later. They don't like bigger brochures but activists tell me the business cards have worked great in years past at football games. Find a few friends to help you at the games: <a href="https://lpstore.org/product/gary-johnson-business-card/">https://lpstore.org/product/gary-johnson-business-card/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>1,000 door hangers for $50. You don't have to wait for any football game or any other special event. Put them up in your neighborhood whenever it's convenient for you, and get some good walking exercise in at the same time. I put up 650 in three days in Baton Rouge in 2012. Get those door hangers here: <a href="https://lpstore.org/product/door-hanger-gary-johnson-quiz/">https://lpstore.org/product/door-hanger-gary-johnson-quiz/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>You don't have to knock on doors when putting up the door hangers, but if you do, that's extra credit. You'll run into some people standing in their front yards. If any seem receptive to Gary Johnson, ask them if they'd like you to install a yard sign in their front yard later that day.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Let me know how it goes. If you take a picture of yourself doing this, post it on facebook, and also post the quantities of items you got out in how much time, you'll probably inspire others to do some similar work. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Good luck.<o:p></o:p></p><pre>Wes Benedict, Executive Director<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Libertarian National Committee, Inc.<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>1444 Duke St., Alexandria, VA 22314<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>(202) 333-0008 ext. 232, <a href="mailto:wes.benedict@lp.org">wes.benedict@lp.org</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>facebook.com/libertarians @LPNational<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Join the Libertarian Party at: <a href="http://lp.org/membership">http://lp.org/membership</a><o:p></o:p></pre><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 8/27/2016 5:17 AM, David Demarest wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Yesterday was the last day for Iowa to challenge.
