Illinois Press/Media List

All, This was mentioned on the last call, and I figured it would be useful all around. Some of this was from a list Justin had his hands on. I added to it mostly just using Wikipedia for finding media outlets and then going to each outlet's website for general contact information. I have only ever used it for something related to Dan Robin's campaign last October. Perhaps it would be of better use in the right hands. Paul DiMasi 847-917-0143

Volunteer letter final draft
by Ken Mattes 30 Mar '24

30 Mar '24

Volunteers Needed! My experience as a libertarian volunteer started with placing yard signs on the road and collecting a handful of petition signatures from my friends. When I started doing those things a few years ago, I had no idea that it would lead to me becoming a National Convention Delegate and also me becoming the Secretary of the Libertarian Party of Illinois. The 2024 State Convention in Elmhurst was an awesome experience! I was disappointed to not see more attendees, but I understand the myriad of factors that we face, as individuals and as a group, which prevented some from attending. Our state party held a successful business meeting which resulted in 21 of our 33 delegate slots being filled, but we do still have some slots remaining. If you are interested in being an Illinois Delegate to the Libertarian National Convention please contact me at secretary(a)lpillinois.org to discuss the requirements. We also have vacancies on our Board of Directors, as well as the State Central Committee. Elections for many of these roles will occur on April 17. This procedure and date are dictated by state law; as some of our counties are now established we are following the guidelines of Illinois Election Code. This means that only Precinct Committeepersons can cast a vote in the April 17 elections. If you are not currently a Precinct Committeeman and would like to be, please see your County Chair or your current SCC representative about becoming one for your precinct, or if you are in a county or district without either please contact me (secretary(a)lpillinois.org) The author Elizabeth Andrew once said 'Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart'. If you have the heart to collect a few signatures and send us a notarized sheet we would appreciate it. If you have the heart to buy and plant some yard signs that would also be great! If you have the heart for those things and more, we do have a place for you, especially if you have experience and/or skills that fit our current openings. I promise you that it will be valuable to us both. -- Ken Mattes Secretary, Libertarian Party of Illinois secretary(a)lpillinois.org 815 342 5177

Draft letter

This can be added to any email going out or sent on it's own; if the latter then replace 'Secretary Ken Mattes' with 'me'. Volunteers Needed! The 2024 Libertarian Party of Illinois Convention earlier this month in Elmhurst was an awesome experience! I was disappointed to not see more attendees, but I understand the myriad of factors that we face, as individuals and as a group, which prevented some from attending. We did conduct a successful business meeting which resulted in 21 of our 33 delegate slots being filled, but we do still have some slots remaining. If you are interested in being an Illinois Delegate to the Libertarian National Convention please contact Secretary Ken Mattes at secretary(a)lpillinois.org to discuss the requirements. We also have vacancies on our Board of Directors, as well as the State Central Committee. Elections for many of these roles will occur on April 17. This procedure and date are dictated by state law; as some of our Counties are now established we are following the guidelines of Illinois Election Code, and we are still hopeful to become a statewide established party later this year! This means that only Precinct Committeepersons can cast a vote in the April 17 elections. If you are not currently a precinct committeeman and would like to be, please see your County Chair or your current SCC representative about becoming one for your precinct, or if you are in a county or district without either please contact Secretary Ken Mattes (secretary(a)lpillinois.org) “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” - Elizabeth Andrew -- Ken Mattes Secretary, Libertarian Party of Illinois secretary(a)lpillinois.org 815 342 5177

Re: [LPIL - Board of Directors] Libertarians in St Louis want to help
by LPIL SCC R12 Rep 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

Hey Tom, Attached is the email our Chair, Bill Redpath, sent out to everybody within Illinois. It contains some instructions and important information for gathering signatures. I've also attached a PDF of the petition sheet. Do you know if/when other members of LPSTL are going to be gathering signatures? Jake Leonard has offered his services as an Illinois Notary Public so we would like to coordinate a time to get the sheets notarized. (Ideally shortly after the petition sheet has been filled.) We appreciate your help in gathering signatures! --- Stuart Straub State Central Committee Region 12 Rep Libertarian Party of Illinois On 2024-03-22 17:03, Tom Rowlette wrote: > Hey there, I'm thinking next weekend will be the first one I go out > and petition.

Fwd: County conventions
by Ken Mattes 12 Mar '24

12 Mar '24

The statewide SCC and Executive Committee elections will be held on April 17. I was not secretary during the last elections, so I am asking for help from those with any experience. I'd like to start putting a plan together now. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: County conventions Date: 2024-03-05 09:51 From: Jake Leonard <political(a)lpillinois.org> To: Ken Mattes <secretary(a)lpillinois.org> Hey Ken, I messaged John Phillips to see if he was planning to run for State Central Committee again at the county conventions. He said that he was not. As I was about to message you, Facebook decided to go awry.
