  As before, I think this sounds like a nice idea, and it looks like
  they have things well in hand. The activities they suggest look
  good. My only caveat would be that too a many folks don't
  understand how vastly different things are from state to state in
  terms of electoral climate and culture, ballot access restrictions,
  level of third party support, etc., so sometimes comparisons or
  attempts to come up with some "one rule fits all" don't work well.
  What works in one state may be ineffective the next state over. On
  the other hand, sharing "best (or worst!) practices" can be vyer
  interesting and instructive, and different groups and pick up new
  ideas, etc. Both WI and MN have had Green Parties for quite
  awhile, and have established a history of some electoral success,
  with current Green officeholders (Annie Young is the MN parks
  commissioner whose department got to clean up the mess form the
  collapsed bridge, Cam Gordon is the councilor for that ward, for
  instance).

  A campaign school is also a great idea; plus, the chance to meet
  other like minded people in the region is always nice. I'd
  definitely encourage those who can to go to this.

  Holly
