Caryn,
Regarding the exchange which takes place here:
https://groups.google.com/d/…/lncvot…/V4TIFSYAUTE/discussion
A reminder that Weld promised not just funds for ballot access (which benefits the candidates themselves at least as much as the party and in some cases more) but also support for "downballot candidates for senate and for us house, for statewide and state legislative races, both in campaigning and with funds for ballot access". Don't forget, 50 state ballot access for the Presidential race doesn't necessarily mean ballot access for all races in that state. In Arizona for example the Presidential race is guaranteed access while candidates in races of the other types described by Mr Weld are effectively shut out.
One wonders if the campaign, in its forthcoming analysis regarding this promise as indicated by Mr Moellman will make this distinction between ballot access for themselves, and for downballot Libertarians, and whether JW2016 could be persuaded to assist with the pending resolution regarding Arizona. Would they give 1/2 of the $5000, so $2500 for legal fees for example, and/or would they direct their legal team to prepare an amicus brief and/or use their influence with ACLU and others?
For your convenience, here is a short (41 seconds) video clip of Bill Weld's promise to the delegates in Orlando:
