- Highlights of Sunday’s LEC meeting:
by Tom Quinn, LEC Secretary
The following highlights are from Sunday's LEC meeting.
All LEC members were present, with approximately five
other LPM members attending.
Proposed articles of incorporation for the LEC were
discussed. A vote on incorporation is expected at
December’s meeting.
Plans are being finalized to air radio ads promoting
the LP. Approximately 5000 dollars has been received in the
federal campaign fund for this effort. More donations are
certainly welcome.
Liberty Fest will be held on November 13. Michael
Badnarik will be the main speaker.
Concerns about ongoing database problems were
discussed. However, until National gets its new Razor's Edge
program up and running we will have to make do.
Next spring’s convention date has been set for April
23. It will be held at the Holiday Inn in Mt. Pleasant.
Suggestions for a main speaker are welcome.
Jim Allison expects that he will receive campaign
materials from the Badnarik campaign early this week. Those
who would like some yard signs or other items may contact
him at allison10@comcast.net.
Keith Edwards reported that he is making progress on
the new operations manual for the LEC.
The next regular meeting of the LEC will be December
12.
And finally, though it does not directly involve the
LPM, Chairman Donahue reported that the city of Ferndale
will be voting on whether or not to conduct instant runoff
elections. The Web site http://www.firv.org/ has
information.
