The national party has existed for 40 years and still struggles quadrennially to secure their ballot status in other states, rather than helping us to win in states where ballot access is assured.

Have we reached out to them with well thought out proposals for funding or volunteers and been rebuffed? Or did we just keep quiet and hope they would send us a check every so often.<br /><br />In the past, representatives from National have routinely attended our Conventions. We've had several LP Presidential candidates make campaign stops in Delaware, or come to our Convention to ask for our support in the nomination process. We've had National send substantial funding to a few of our local candidates.<br /><br />I appreciated that support, and I think we need to build a better relationship with National so that our serious candidates can ask National for support and have a reasonable expectation of getting it.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653459162258850269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-37321640220527292312012-06-03T17:27:30.541-04:002012-06-03T17:27:30.541-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653459162258850269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-66574096288902972192012-06-03T14:27:32.937-04:002012-06-03T14:27:32.937-04:00Nice piece Steve.
