Hiya, James. Unfortunately a lot of the content on the WI and MI pages are information that isn't readily available to us. I'd have to dig around quite furiously to find phone numbers for old state party folks, then try and get in contact with them to find out a lot of it. Prior to 1994 may be lost for good. Of the current membership of the state party, the person who's been around longest joined along with the 1994 reformation, however I know we had a state party before that (long story short, the state chair during Ron Paul's 1988 presidential bid is a cab driver here in Morgantown and has driven my drunk libertarian friends and I home before.) Anyways, digging up history is a bit of an ordeal. I'll likely add it if someone volunteers to serve as party historian and gathers it together for me, which is something that [[Kirsten Milligan|Kirsten]] is interested in having. We are still by and large in the very early stages of reformation - I don't know when we last had a secretary at all, when I moved here the position was vacant and our state chair had gone missing without saying goodbye and... well, yeah. So that's where we've started from. It's been interesting so far. I'm right now working hardcore to get at least the few casually active folks to become official voting members of the party and about 50,000 other things - laying down initiatives, drumming up support (myself and another LPWV'er were out at a moveon.org anti-war vigil tonight and handed out some LP literature - I do stuff like this a LOT), trying to find a gubernatorial candidate so that we can consider a drive for major party status, buying voter rolls for outreach projects, upgrading our IT infrastructure (I'm a systems security guy by trade), determining proper regional divisions to create regional affiliates, making friends with folks at the LNC HQ, etc. And that's just the LPWV stuff. I will definitly lurk on here, make updates to what exists now, try desperately to keep our information current here, and slowly add more of our state party people. Also, I was thinking you should consider a mediawiki upgrade. Versions this old have some security issues. See [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/News http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/News] for more information on that. [[User:Mdh|Mdh]] 00:15, 29 Aug 2007 (EDT) | |||
