[LPL Board of Directors] Fwd: Louisiana END The FED Rally

[treasurer at lplouisiana.org]

Sorry to take so long to email back. I had this same issue working on the
Gary Johnson Campaign. This guy had a higher up position with the Virgil
Goode Campaign and tried to have the GJ and VG Campaign's do a joint
event. This exact problem came up. He wouldn't offer details and he most
of all wanted the GJ Campaign to fund half of the event. I declined but
said when the event was planned out, we would strongly reconsider. The
event never even happened. All they did was talk and do a small amount of
planning but it never progressed. They were asking for a commitment of
money before details were even thought of. This effort, as well as the one
with VG and GJ Campaigns, as well as a few other interactions I have had
with the CP, they seem very unorganized and truthfully, beyond Joshua, the
"Chairman", and another guy, they have no other members. They stand to
gain a lot more from this event than us and also, we are a state party. We
have enough on our hands just trying to educate and sway the public on
State Issues. If the CP has the event, and more than 9 people show up, I
would be VERY surprised.
