Delegation Chair’s Manual, 2010
I updated the Delegation Chair’s Manual on June 23 using May 31 membership data. That’s a useful service since affiliate delegate allocations for the 2010 Convention in St. Louis over Memorial Day is based on affiliate membership and votes for Bob Barr in 2008. Executive Director Robert Kraus posted it online and he tells me he will attach it to this blog. That will make the PDF searchable.

The October 31, 2010 membership numbers will determine official delegate allocations.
Of course, it’s not necessary to be a state chair to read the document. It contains information about delegates, delegations and procedures we’ll use in the 2010 Convention. These are not procedures that the LNC has dictated, but are ones we ourselves as members have codified in our Bylaws and Convention Rules.
Convention Speakers
Admiral Colley who is heading up the 2010 planning as chair of the LNC’s Convention Oversight Committee asked me to find speakers for the 2010 convention since I had taken some initiative on my own to line up a few speakers. So far, we have secured:
· David Nolan, one of the Party’s 1971 co-founders
· Gary Nolan, syndicated radio talk show host and 2004 LP presidential candidate
· Mary Ruwart, noted author and 2008 presidential candidate
· Dr. James W. Lark, III, former chair slated to address the Torch Club. ($1k donors)
· Jeff Davis, a radio personality who produces “Just a Thought” commentaries. http://www.thethoughtzone.com/PAGE1.html
This list is not yet complete. There are other speakers I’m chasing down. Jeff Davis, by the way, is a descendant of the President of the Confederate States, Jefferson Davis.
I’ll be welcoming delegates to St. Louis before the opening gavel drops. The Gateway City is my home town, and I’ll point out highlights of the fair city. In addition, I’ll be able put to rest renegade local urban legends (no, there is not some guy who lives across from the brewery and has Budweiser directly piped into his house) and to recommend where is the best place to buy underwear to clothe the naked bodies in the “Meeting of the Rivers” sculpture across from Union Station.
Hope and Change
How’s that Hope and Change working out for you?
Still got hope? Then how’s your change?
It’s an abomination what PrezBo (that’s what Libertarian Neal Boortz calls him) is doing to the economy and the lives of our children and grandchildren. He doesn’t understand his government policies deplete the economy and capital rather than invigorate them. He assumes American businesses will always be around for government to plunder. Terrible miscalculation, and the results will not be pretty
Doing more than the LNC
I had a chance to think about the fact that virtually everyone on the LNC does more than just lord over the LNC domain. Here’s a list I was able to produce right off the top. Of course it’s incomplete. But it begins to show how the LNC is largely comprised of high-energy, high-performance individuals:
· Admiral Colley is heading up the 2010 convention work
· Chairman Bill Redpath actually collects petition signatures, and serves on the Fair Vote board
· Dr. James Lark always contributes a ton of money, leads the campus organizing, serves on other boards and more
· Sully is getting convention speakers, preparing convention ballots and will produce convention materials
· Mary Ruwart writes books and serves on other boards
· Michael Jingozian is developing his marketing strategy initiative
· Aaron Starr is managing the financials and spearheading fundraising
· Pat Dixon serves as an elected Libertarian
· Dan Karlan heads up the Bylaws Committee
· Alicia Mattson is developing an e-voting application
· Tony Ryan is a speaker with LEAP
· Jake Porter helps Libertarian candidates
Thanks to all, in and out of the LNC, who grab a rope and help pull in initiatives for Liberty.
