[Iowa-dx] Registering Green in Iowa-$200 for list of Greens?

[Hart, Holly J]

An idea - in 2001, some of us planned a time for several to show up at the =
auditor's and made it an event.  We could try tor a press conference - eith=
er try for a date statewide as a call for Green registrants.  Or, since tha=
t's probably difficult to work out, some of our groups could do this; or an=
nounce a series of dates for several locations  I think at ours we had trea=
ts, which might be bribery, but no one complained.  Anyone who's already re=
gistered Green could still show up for moral support, of course!.

Congratulations Ron!

In fact, I was so motivated that I went out and registered Green today in C=
edar
Rapids!

The reason we agreed to the current scheme was because we would have access=
 to
the list of registered Greens in Iowa for organizing purposes.  Unfortunate=
ly,
Tim at the Linn Auditor's desk said the state of Iowa has a new statewide
computer.  So instead of getting the Linn County list once a month for free=
, we
will have to pay for it.  He said it would cost $10 for every  report of Gr=
eens
in Linn County and $200 for a yearly subscription.  He wasn't sure how it w=
orked
in Johnson County.

As an alternative, he thought that the state Party could get a list of stat=
ewide
members and distribute to each county as the Democratic Party does.  He col=
lects
the new list for the Republican Party in Linn County twice a week.

Peace,

Bob
