Bill noted a language definition error for editing. It's something that was
in my 2002 campaign brochure and was distributed state-wide and used by
others as well.
Was:
This November, you have the opportunity to vote for smaller government, less
taxes, and more freedom.
Changed to:
This November, you have the opportunity to vote for smaller government,
fewer taxes, and more freedom.
This was written by Joe Johnson (past LPBC chair), but Bill saw the
distinction between less and fewer, and there most certainly is one. Less
could implicate the same or even more things taxed, but at lesser
percentage; while fewer would mean a smaller number of things taxed at all.
Thanks Bill.

This evening I had coffee and a chat with Mike Lewinski, co-owner of Rocky
Mtn. Internet. He redirects my DNS (makes paultiger.com point to any server
of my choosing). I merely mentioned that I was running and he offered up web
server space for free. All the high-end goodies for a commercial account for
zero $$$.
I will need to list it as a gift in kind, but it will be pretty easy to add
into the FCPA report form.

Bo is Treasurer of the Committee to Defraud Boulder County.
Actually, we need to find a name pretty quick. How about Committee to
Educate Boulder Electors (CEBE - pronounced 'see-bee'). Committee to Anoint
Tiger (CAT); Tiger for Emperor of the Known Universe ('tee-ku').
I don't know shit about banks, 'cept that they screwed me around for about
ten years before I started dealing only with credit unions. Problem is that
cu's won't do corporate biz accounts, but they will do non-profit accounts.
To do a checking account they want me to provide trade-name registration and
proof of IRS designations. The FEC and FCPA requires that I only have a
committee name, and report what I am doing with buckos.
Tomorrow I will try my luck with Horizon Bank, Bo's suggestion.

The last leaf of the brochure needs a few fresh quotes. Nice and short stuff
with sound bite impact; maybe from some sitting (elected Ls). Or chants from
Bob Glass's Tyranny Response Team.
I wish I could fit this one somewhere in what I tell people, but it can't be
while campaigning. However, it is fun and comes under the heading of name
that author: (Bill - disqualify yourself).
".... I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is
much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be
wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees
of certainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of
anything and there are many things I do not know anything about, such as
whether it means anything to ask 'why are we here?' I do not have to know an
answer. I do not feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a
mysterious universe without any purpose, which it is as far as I can tell.
It does not frighten me."
