buy socks.
x clean car.

monday, when does the bank open.
doesn't actually matter.
so pay xander friday.
offer to put something on a credit card.
check pockets, make sure have credit cards.
x wash clothes if needed. needed. do that first.
only buy good socks. put initials in them, so bring a marker.

while at the LP convention in Ohio, i had two interesting discussions, one with my state chair,
Dan Drexler, and one with the new national chair, Nick Sarwark.
these are some notes.
states: Dan has said that it's not the state's job to recruit local candidates; that that's a county function.
But nothing stops an individual or group from going out and recruiting candidates.
So that' the task. What needs to be done:
1. support the current candidates, 40 or 50 of them.
2. begin recruiting candidates for spring.municipal elections.
3. begin recruiting people to serve on appointed boards and commissions.
4.begin recruiting for 2016.

2 in more detail:
set up a recruitment committee. completely unofficial, only finds and recommends for nomination, does not nominate anyone.
have prospective candidates set up exploratory committee, whether official or usually unofficial.
their first task:
1 recruit an opponent, so that the county will have to choose between you. preferably a candidate better than you are, richer better looking more well known etc. more female/nonwhite etc.
2. recruit someone to run in the major party primary to defeat the incumbent; it's easier to win the general election when you've chosen your opposition. if you think it will be a 3 way race, do this with both major parties. (optional, use fusion to knock off one or both.)
3. recruit a campaign manager, have them take over running the campaign.
4. make signs.
5. raise money.

nick sarwark is a lawyer, former programmer, public defender, blogger, has enthusiasm, shook my hand and asked for my vote. i read his personal blog, good guy. i voted for him on the second ballot when he won.
(i abstained on the first ballot, my state chair as running. starchild got 3 write-ins.)

we talked about how i want to help with ballot access cases, and he was psyched. says he was motivated to go to law school by IJ. I need to give him a week or two to settle in and write to him with more detail.
