[Lnc-business] Why Mary Matlin is Registering as a Libertarian

[Daniel Hayes]

Mary Matlin, a New Orleans resident, Republican strategist, and wife of Democratic strategist James Carrville recently announced that she was switching her Party Affiliation to Libertarian. 

 As someone from the New Orleans area that has been suggested as having obtained more change of voter registrations than any other volunteer in the country, I wish I could say I had something to do with this.  Alas, I think I think my status as the top Libertarian recruiter in the country will be quickly eclipsed by someone else.  I think the Donald is going to take the title from me very quickly.  I'm ok with that. REAL ok with it.

With that in mind, I want to encourage those people in states where Party affiliation is officially recognized with your Secretary of State.  Get some change of registration cards from your registrars and start putting them in front of people.  My big secret of why I register more people than most is not that I am so awesomely persuasive.  It's because I ask.  I probably get rejected by people I actually might want in the Party more than anybody else in the country.  The big secret is you just gotta ask.  Let's all take advantage of this opportunity. Don't get caught up in a lot of long sales jobs.   Just talk to people for a second.  Make sure they are at least partially in the Libertarian Tent and sign em up.   Don't get into long debates with people that say we are handing the election to Hillary.  Point out real quickly that the GOP has done that..AGAIN! Mention that in 2 way polls Hillary beats Trump by more than in a race with a Libertarian(Gary Johnson specifically was the one inserted.). If they still want to try and blame us, move on.
Now is our time.  

In states without the voter registration see if you can get people to become donors.  In states with registration you may want to ask people not quite ready to give up their voter affiliation if they want to become a donor to the Party at some level.

NOW is the time for us folks. If you are serious about growing the Party,  this is the opportunity we have been waiting for. Check out the video below.
