I certainly understand that sentiment. <br>
<br>
Going forward, I agree that the LNC needs to see real progress
toward accomplishment of goals on the state-side prior to
encumbering and expending funds for a state drive. Good
intentions are not good enough. We need to see the ability to
execute. <br>
<br>
To that end, we haven't spent anything in TN yet, and likewise
wouldn't recommend spending in AL until such time as they have met
a substantial part of their end of the bargain. If you look at
the AL proposal, the LNC is listed last among funding sources.
That was not an accident or by random lot; I made it clear that
the state is going to have to show that it can execute. And TN
knows this as well.<br>
<br>
I want to see every single state have access, but there needs to
be an understanding that it's a team effort, and everyone has to
pull their weight.<br>
<br>
I can speak about this in more detail in person. <br>
<br>
I am bringing Dustin from LPO with me to the LNC meeting, so he
can answer your questions about the Ohio drive either in the
meeting or privately, as well.<br>
<br>
On the upside, we've never had as much ballot access coming off of
a presidential election as we have now. So we really don't even
have that many projects to choose from. That's a problem we like
to have!<br>

have a LOT of members that are sick to death of hearing about
ballot access. We have other members that are motivated by
certain things. We have a lot of members that don't believe in
paying mortgages.
<div>We have people complaining about $10,000 being spent by the
historic committee. Despite this being donated specifically
for that project.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I fully support us striving to achieve true 51 "State"
ballot access. I tell members from states that have great
ballot access that it helps us all when we have more states
that have it. Also, to remember that many states that do
have great ballot access were helped in getting that by people
like Richard Winger and Bill Redpath and many others. If
others had taken the attitude of "I got it, I don't need to
help you" early on, many of those states actually wouldn't
have it. It's important to pay it forward.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That said what happens when people poo-poo encouraging
others to give money to the Historic Committee or the Building
Fund because we need more ballot access is that we probably
end up with LESS money for ballot access. Different things
motivate different people. When someone that otherwise hasn't
been giving now has something they want to donate to, a funny
thing can happen. Some of those people get into the habit of
giving and start giving to other things as well. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's about developing relationships with donors. When
someone says to a donor, "what's important and excites you
isn't really important. Give your money to this instead" ,
some of those donors will close their checkbook back up and
not donate at all. When you say what's important to them isn't
really important, they hear that they are not that important.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Everyone needs to keep that in mind. Options are a good
thing.</div>

<p>It is my understanding that the interest on the
building is at about 4%, and that previous contributions
have set us on a path to pay off the building prior to
the balloon payment. I have not independently verified
this, but if it's true, then I would suggest that
pushing to pay it off any sooner may be to the detriment
of other goals. Certainly I appreciate paying off
debts, but simultaneously, there is a weighing of
opportunity cost to consider.</p>
<p>On a separate note, the Ballot Access Committee's
report is asking for $250,000. I apologize for the
discrepancy between what was placed into the budget and
the report itself. As the report was being put
together, a number of things changed. Primarily,
Alabama has put together a plan which, if they execute
their half, I would encourage the LNC to execute the
second-half. Additionally, LP Ohio and LP Tennessee
will have "carry over" from the 2017, which isn't shown
as carry-over.</p>

<p>Hi Caryn Ann,</p>
<p>We may do 1 or 2 fundraising appeals about the
building in 2018 but probably not much more than that
because we'll be focused on fundraising for ballot
access, candidate support, etc.</p>
<p>Yes, some people really like giving to something they
can touch and something that allows their name to
displayed permanently. We now have sponsors for all of
our named rooms at HQ so that removes what many people
would consider the biggest incentive for donors to
give big checks to the Building Fund. There are still
other opportunities for people to give and have their
name listed prominently, however, and we'll highlight
that occasionally.</p>
<p>For the purposes of budgeting, I do think it is wise
not to expect any large contributions to the Building
Fund in 2018.</p>
