Given the cost, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. We can add on a logo or whatever in the next round if/when that happens.

I'll take the blame for that one. I could fundraise for it if we have issue with no mention of LPKY being on there. I would say that if it had our party on it the legislators would probably balk at wearing them to committee meetings though. I'm hoping the button could be handed to each member during credentialing and mentioned during the Excom update at convention which will hopefully help get us credit for "doing something"

It's it is a joint effort, it might be good if there was a place to go for the KY-specific effort that would list us as a sponsor.  Just wanting to be sure LPKY gets marketing out of our support; that people know we're supporting it and putting our funds behind our support.

I'd like these to be available at convention for all attendees that would like one and the remainder to be given to the sponsors of the HB81. The logistics of getting them to Frankfort would need to be worked out but I think giving the buttons to them with a note that we are available for anything the legislators pushing this bill need would help our cause. The picture is attached.
