Hi Ralph,

	Thank you for writing to members of the Libertarian National Committee. Having a website for people to sign their names quitting the 2-party cartel could be a good idea. In China, something called the Tuidang Movement ( tuidang means "renounce the party") has been quite successful in getting people to withdraw their support for the ruling Communist Party, reportedly attracting 200 million resignations so far (see e.g. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/1416965-workers-in-a-chinese-factory-collectively-quit-the-communist-party/).

	While your willingness to donate the website RINOSMustPay.com to the party is appreciated however, the name suggests that we don't want people to be "Republicans In Name Only", when in fact we don't want them to be Republicans (or Democrats) at all – we want them to be Libertarians! Therefore that particular site name doesn't seem to me like a good fit for an official LP message.

	I also wouldn't want to make the Republican Party the sole or main focus of such an effort by the Libertarian Party. We already have a historical imbalance of appealing more to people on the political right than to people on the political left, and given what looks like the current implosion of the GOP, this is more of a concern now than ever. In order to keep the LP sustainably pro-freedom and minimize the danger of slowly gravitating to the right and being taken over by people who are more conservative than libertarian, it's essential that any new LP campaigns reach out at least as much to liberals as to conservatives.

	So while I can't speak for my colleagues, I would be more interested in an idea like this if it were reconfigured to reach out to liberals at least as much as to conservatives, and avoided wording that suggests we think people not being Republican enough (or Democrat enough) is the problem. Nevertheless, thanks for taking the time to contact us, and for your efforts on behalf of the libertarian cause.

Love & Liberty,
                                  ((( starchild )))
