The following was sent to our newsletter distribution list:*





Municipal Elections Qualifying THIS WEEK!*

Qualifying for the April 6th Municipal elections runs from Wednesday, February 
13th through Friday, February 15th. Candidates must qualify with their local 
Registrar of Voters <http://www.sos.la.gov/tabid/1175/Default.aspx> office 
between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day.

Offices are posted on our "Who Is Running? 
<http://lplouisiana.org/candidates/whoIsRunning.php>" pages.  They include the 
positions of Alderman, Councilman, Chief of Police and Mayor for several 
Louisiana villages, towns and cities.  All told there are 103 offices up for 
grabs, and this will be the last opportunity to run for any office until the 
Spring of 2014.

Anyone contemplating running for office in the next few years should strongly 
consider filing for local office, NOW, this week. If not for the experience of 
actually serving in office, then do so simply for the experience gained in 
campaigning and name recognition. You might get elected just by filing 
unopposed! (as two Louisiana Libertarians did in November 2012 
<http://lplouisiana.org/events/archive/novemberElection2012.php>)

Volunteer TODAY! See our Who's Running 
<http://lplouisiana.org/candidates/whoIsRunning.php> pages for more info.

*New Charitable Project!*

The Optimist Club of Lafayette is in dire need of a new roof over their entire 
facility. They have not received any official estimates for the job, but 
preliminarily have determined themselves, that materials will run at a minimum 
$4,000. This will wipe out approximately HALF of their current balance of 
funds for their youth scholarships and events. Every dollar spent on the roof 
is a dollar they won't have available to put towards projects for the kids 
they help and serve.

Find out more about this project 
<http://lplouisiana.org/volunteer/charitableProjects.php> and why the LPL is 
promoting and supporting it on our new Charitable Projects page.

    Caucus & Planning Meetings posted

The Libertarian Party of Louisiana will kickoff the new year by announcing our 
very first Caucus of 2013 to be held in St Tammany Parish. St. Tammany 
registered Libertarians will vote to fill up to 16 positions on their Parish 
Executive Committee. All Libertarians are invited to attend and there will be 
open voter registration at the event.

<http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/01/libertarians_to_form_party_exe.html>and

We will be forming Parish Executive Committees across the state, working to 
grow our membership to 15,000 by 2014 and recruiting candidates to run for 
local office.

Planning meetings are also scheduled for Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, St. 
Mary, and Terrebonne Parishes.
