Moderator Announcement.
State Convention, Saturday, May 13th.
This year's State Convention will be very important.
There are two elections, the first (Moderator) is almost
moot as the deadline has passed and nobody has been
nominated to oppose me. The other election is extremely
important. Everyone interested in the future of the PCP
should attend and bring a dozen friends. We will choose
between
Joe LaBonte and
Roger I. Price. Both are good
men, but they will bring very different images to the
party. Go to their candidate pages and see the vastness
of the difference. Both elections will be printed on a
single ballot.
Okay, here's the procedure.
Opposed and un-opposed Candidates can set up their
displays and literature starting at 9AM on the tables
provided in the foyer, which is also scheduled for our
party. Please be polite. We are scheduled in the County
Commissioners' Chambers (2100 South, State Street, South
end of North Building, main floor) from 9AM to 4PM. The
action will begin at 10AM. At that time, I will flip a
coin. Heads, LaBonte speaks first, tails Price starts.
The speeches will begin at 10:20 and each speaker will
get ten minutes, with no time for questions. Then, we
will prepare for the ballots to be cast at 11:00.
Depending on the size of the crowd, we may have people
enter the room and cast their ballots upside-down into a
large cardboard box and then return to the foyer. Every
sentient being who claims to be a registered voter in
Utah will be given a ballot without challenge. Thus, you
can come and vote without revealing your name or
identity, if you wish. We prefer trust and ask only that
you claim to be a legally registered voter in Utah, and
that you vote only once. Members of other political
parties are welcome to come and cast a ballot. After all
the ballots are cast, they will be counted without
looking at the candidate names. If the number of ballots
cast is even, the Moderator, Ken Larsen, will cast a
ballot to make the number odd. If the vote is still a
tie because of a problem with some ballot, I will again
flip a coin to determine the winner. Heads, LaBonte,
tails, Price. There will be space on the ballot in case
someone wants to run a write-in campaign for Moderator.
After the elections are decided, every unchallenged
candidate on our ballot will be offered 2 minutes to
introduce themselves to the convention. They will speak
in the order in which they request to speak. Then, the
official business will be complete. However, candidates
and non-candidates will then be free to take a number
and address the convention for 2 minutes to speak about
anything they wish. If you wish to speak for more than 2
minutes, you can take another number (after your speech)
and go to the end of the line for your second address.
There will be no motions and no official voting (an
informal raising of hands is not an official vote). We
will end the business when the speakers are through, or
at 3PM to give us time to clean up and clear the
building. Anyone is free to invite the Convention goers
to retire to another place to celebrate.

Second event. I have scheduled a booth for the Personal
Choice Party at
Pride Day, Sunday, June 4th, all day.
Volunteers will be very much appreciated to help set up,
take down, transport, and man the booth. It is real work
and it will be much more enjoyable if there are several
participants.
****
Third event. I have scheduled a booth for the Personal
Choice Party at the
State Fair, Sept 7 -17. This year we
will be indoors. I'm tired of wind and rain ruining a
day. We will be in booth number 1 in the Grand Building.
That's on the South side of the grass (South of the
flag). Our booth will be on the North-West corner of the
ground floor. Again, we will need helpers from 10 AM to
10 PM almost every day (an hour later on weekends). Here
is a chance for candidates to distribute their
literature and meet the public.
****
Donations to the
PC-PAC to help defray the costs of booths and
literature will be very much appreciated. The PCP is a
real party with a real alternative to tyranny as usual
in America. Let's make it look like it.
Feedback muchly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ken
Larsen, State Moderator
