Things were just really hectic (and the fight to get in the debate took time and there are other organizational issues in Montana - again due to the unexpected passing of Fellows and reorganizational growing pains) that led to a later formal request than we would have expected. The Montana Chair recently resigned - an interim Chair is in place and on top of things but we know how such things can cause a disruption. I am comfortable they are on top of things again.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 10, 2017 at 9:30 AM, Joshua Katz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:planning4liberty@gmail.com" target="_blank">planning4liberty@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I completely agree that we need to provide value to states like Montana that do not struggle with ballot access. I believe, long-term, that the value we provide them has to be more than returning donor money - not that we shouldn't do that, but we need to do more. Thankfully, I think we took a step in that direction: when states without ballot access struggles ask what we provide, we can tell them we work to get their members, if they seek it, appointed to federal office. (By the way, I hear there's an opening for FBI Director.) <div><br></div><div>Here's where I stand on this. I understand the timing concerns, and I wish we had either gotten this request earlier, or had done it earlier on our initiative. That said, I don't think it's too late, if a few things happen. I'd like to hear that, if this happens, he will use a professional photographer and replace some of the shots on his website. Next, I'd like to hear that he has his ads ready so that, the day this passes (if it passes) they can run. He has enough on hand, I think, to make that happen. I think his best shot here is very simple video ads that show him outclassing his opponents (short clips) and that show known media personalities saying he won. Cut a few of those, nothing fancy - we probably have more than a few people on this very board who could do that for him if asked - and then use every cent to push them out. If I hear he will do that, I will vote yes.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_6210550134791911366m_-6445302936202752240m_4112067575920003514gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Joshua A.
