Hello North Dakota, I must apologize to you first. I made a mistake in addressing my first messages to you, but when they bounced, I resent them with the correct address (I thought). Apparently some or all of you did not receive them, however. I'm truly sorry for any confusion or inconvenience that has caused you. Let's start over. :) The nomination period for you was supposed to end tonight, June 30 at 9 pm CDT. I'm going to extend it until 9 pm CDT on Wednesday, July 7th. You may nominate yourself or anyone on the ND mailing list (see below) by emailing Bev Hopkins (bbeegle@huntel.net) or me (bluebear@new.rr.com). The names of nominators will remain confidential. Only a few members of the Election Committee will ever know who nominated whom. I will post the names of nominees as soon as they have accepted (or declined) the nomination. Currently we have received one nominee Lee King, who accepted the nomination. From July 8-14 the nominees will have time to post information about themselves and their plans for North Dakota if they are elected. Other members of the list will have an opportunity to ask the nominees questions, either privately or on the list. You'll be able to vote from 9 AM CDT on Thursday, July 15 through 9 PM CDT on Wednesday, July 28. In addition to voting for SC, you will also be asked to vote yes or no to the question: Are you in favor of holding an election every two years for state coordinator?" The new SC will take office immediately after the election results are confirmed and will continue through January 2006 if the voters approve a two year term for the SC. Please feel free to email Bev or me with any questions you have. I'm sure that Joe Zsedeny will also be glad to answer your questions.
