[LPL Board of Directors] Orleans Caucus Recap

[Boyd Wayne Smith]

I am looking so forward to meeting the Jefferson Parish LP based upon
these types of stories.

I plan on having paper copies of the parish positions for those people who
are representing the PECs.  Out of over 2900 positions, if we can win in
just 1% of those races we will have done something spectacular in
politics.  Many of these races will be by acclamation.  Ask Mr. Randall
Hayes and Mr. Michael Riffe.
