[9:35pm] Joe: https://masscann.org/boston-freedom-rally/faq/
[9:35pm] Joe: 7:30 pm work?
[9:36pm] Creynolds87: I'm probably going to have to do it from my pc, with just a mic (webcam is busted). Can't seem to figure out why I'm not getting audio on my phone
[9:36pm] Joe: I still need to do a test run, which I plan to do on Friday
[9:37pm] jokeefe: 7:30pm works. not too late or too early
[9:38pm] Creynolds87: that's for this saturday, the 14th, correct?
[9:39pm] jokeefe: yes
[9:39pm] Joe: My PC needs some serious upgrades.  I have been focusing my money on growing my company of late but I will be getting a few more upgrades in the near future.
[9:39pm] Malt: Shiny
[9:40pm] jokeefe: 7:30pm work then?
[9:40pm] Joe: Aye
[9:41pm] Creynolds87: Aye
[9:42pm] jokeefe: ok then. thanks
[9:42pm] jokeefe: No update on Democracy and Dogfood (Tech) besides that it is set for October 5th at E5
[9:43pm] jokeefe: Joe, would you update us on the National Party?
[9:44pm] Joe: Currently, the new by-laws have been approved and we set a date to redo the elections in a month
[9:44pm] Joe: Nominations are due 10/7 and we vote one week later
[9:45pm] Joe: We also have a potential presidential candidate though some questions have been raised.
[9:45pm] Joe: Megan is currently investigating.
[9:46pm] Joe: That said, she is said to present why she would be a good pirate candidate at our next meeting, so if possible please attend
[9:46pm] Joe: Your voice will be appreciated.
[9:47pm] Joe: We will also be working on a new system in order to contact all pirates the way our activist list works for us in MA
[9:47pm] jokeefe: ok. we would need go gather 15,000 signatures to get a presidential candidate on the ballot unless we did a write in
[9:47pm] Joe: Just on a national level.
[9:47pm] Joe: tbh, I'm not sure she is someone we would back.
[9:48pm] Malt: Dunno how a presidential candidate would assist with movement building
[9:48pm] jokeefe: might be good to establish our platform first
[9:48pm] Malt: Seems like we lack a lot of the infrastructure for that
[9:48pm] Joe: I agree Malt
[9:48pm] Malt: I'm still down to act in am advisory capacity with the national party
[9:48pm] Malt: I just question if I have the time to commit
[9:48pm] jokeefe: my concerns as well, Malt, especially with all focus on anti-Trump vs Trump
[9:48pm] Malt: To a full position
[9:48pm] Creynolds87: I see it as an opportunity to raise awareness of our party
[9:49pm] Joe: We still have quite a bit of work on our platform before we can really run anyone as well.
[9:49pm] Creynolds87: Nothing more however
[9:49pm] Creynolds87: at a big taxing cost
[9:49pm] Joe: Why waste our resources?
[9:49pm] jokeefe: Local candidates are better though, Creynolds87
[9:49pm] Creynolds87: right
[9:50pm] Creynolds87: I understand that, they stand a much better chance of getting elected and help change things at the local level
[9:50pm] Joe: When we have a fully established platform, then we can move forward with running people.  I would rather see us focused on state and local than something so flashy
[9:50pm] Creynolds87: That's very true
[9:50pm] Creynolds87: Good point @Joe
[9:51pm] Joe: However, if she is willing to provide her own funds, I would be happy to assist if she is true to our values
[9:51pm] Joe: Part of campaigning is raising funds
[9:52pm] jokeefe: aye that
[9:53pm] jokeefe: I think that covers it
[9:53pm] Joe: https://www.facebook.com/designanddraft?fref=search&__tn__=%2Cd%3C-R&eid=ARDBs_C5LBNiV9RLGR-VUXNwkTzs03FMTX4iEUlF5sjKogFDBqykQlSxFZyc2AVID8UlYe-2GYk8Yoa3
