[Lnc-business] Treasurer Report & Double the LP

[Brett H. Pojunis]

LNC Board,

Mr. Hagan thank you for providing the Treasures the report!  I suggest I
strongly suggest that each member review the report.  I fear you will find
the result less than satisfactory and likely disturbing.  Here are a few
things to look at;

   1. Our number of members are flirting with a 20 year low, more than 1/2
   off our all time high;
   2. Our revenues have basically been declining since the year 2000;
   3. For most of this year we have been spending more money than revenues
   generated;
   4. Based on the numbers from January 2012 through July 2012 there are
   very little expenses for fundraising or membership drives.

We have to do something!  We do not have the luxury to be spectators
anymore.  As LNC members we should initiate National campaigns with the
intent to drive new membership and significantly increase revenues.  If
there are members of this board who do not feel the same way, they should
strongly reconsider their participation on this board as this board will
not exist if we do not dramatically improve our membership and revenues.

I would like to start the conversation now about what we can do to increase
members and revenues, Nationally as a party.  We cannot require any
state affiliate to participate in National campaigns, but we must develop
campaigns for affiliates to participate in.  As leaders of
the Libertarian party it is our responsibility to demonstrate leadership.

Last week I sent out information about a National campaign called Double
The LP.  It concerns me that I have received little feedback from this
board. I would prefer to embrace the Double The LP campaign, however, if
someone on this board has developed any other ideas, now is the time to
share them with us.  From my understanding this is the only plan on the
table.

Am I the only member of this board who is very concerned with our inability
to build our membership?  If not, please speak up and perhaps we can do
things on our own to help save the Libertarian Party.  I have promised to
do everything I can to unite this party, by setting aside differences and
working together on campaigns like Double The LP, we will be united.  I
have attached a shorter version of the Double The LP plan as well as the
original plan to this email for your review.  I would appreciate feedback
and any objections to launching the campaign. Can we at least start the
conversation and can we work together to get over any potential objections
for this campaign?

Thank you and I welcome your questions and comments.

Best,
