Inadvertanly, I didn’t add the electionlistserv@gmail.com address to my Apple Mail correctly, and because of this I was getting a bit annoyed that no one had added it to their listservs yet. However, now that I’ve corrected the mistake I would like to take this opportunity to remind every candidate of something very important.
The only people that should be on your listservs right now (or even who you should be talking to on a regular basis) are those people helping you “research a platform, and help the candidate prepare for the campaigning period.” [IV,C,ii,26] This means that each and every person must have a specific job, position, etc., and that there may not be “general members” of your staff.
This is a final warning to all campaigns. If your staff size or listserv is very large, you must scale it back to include only those people vital to helping you prepare. Major candidates will be submitting Pre-Campaign Staff Rosters next week (more information here) and those rosters must include anyone previously on a listserv. For example, if your listserv has 100 people on it–what I see as very near the upper limit–you must submit at least 100 names and emails in your roster.
Again, this is the one and final warning I will give on this matter. Email me if you have any questions.
