 To be honest, I was considering this time to
 become a life member and do the $150 monthly.  We certainly
 need it at this time.

 Member Monthly Recurring Donations I agree with Daniel here, and
 particular if M is generous enough to offer this, we should
 take full advantage.  I am not presently at zero (I am at
 $10 a month) and was considering increasing that but I had
 other obligations.  If everyone can commit to make our
 lowest amount a higher amount than $10, I will raise mine
 accordingly now and put other things off.  If $10 is going
 to be the lowest amount anyways... well there is no hurry,
 so this is a challenge from me to you... let's not have
 our minimum be $10... whatever anyone else's minimum is
 (within reason), I will raise mine to be that. It
 would be really nice if our minimum were $50 which would
 mean that M would generously donate $500/month. -- In Liberty,Caryn Ann HarlosRegion 1 Representative (Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii,

 We as members of the board, which in
 our case is known as the Libertarian National Committee,
 should be leading by example.  For us to be a successful
 political Party the reality is it takes money.  Be it to
 pay staff, purchase literature, obtain ballot access,
 sponsor outreach events, support candidates or any number if
 things, it takes money.
 The way in which we as a political
 party are able to “make” money is by collecting
 donations.  As members of the board we should take it upon
 ourselves to help raise that money by soliciting
 donations.  The first and easiest way for us to get
 donations is for the members of the board to set up monthly
 recurring donations to the National Party.  It is a pretty
 common practice that many boards have minimal levels of
 expected donation if someone is a member.  We have no such
 mandate and I prefer we never set such a thing up.  We
 should however all voluntarily reach into our pockets and
 set up a pledge each month if you have not already done
 so.

 A potential added benefit to reaching
 deep, by making your own pledge, you may almost
 automatically be able to help bring in a monthly donation 10
 times that amount.  During the February 2016 LNC meeting in
 Orlando at the Rosen Centre, Mr. M Carling informed the LNC
 that he bases his monthly recurring donation on the donation
 of the lowest amount paid by any LNC member. He informed us
 that at times the lowest monthly recurring donation had been
 as high as $100/month to which he was donating $1000/month
 in response.  At the time he informed us that zero was the
 lowest monthly recurring donation by a member and so his
 monthly donation was zero.  He said he did not include
 alternates in this calculation.  We have a new board now
 and I would like to take Mr Carling up on his offer.  As
 members of the board our donations are a matter of public
 record and are usually published at the back of the packet
 staff hands out at each LNC meeting so we all are really on
 the spot about this already.

 Are the other members of the board
 willing and able to take Mr Carling up on this offer?  I
 assume it still stands as he has been a member of the Party
 for a very long time. Even if it does not, We should have
 all LNC members including the alternates doing something
 every month. For the newer members, consider setting up a
 monthly recurring donation to obtain your Life
 Membership.

 I have CCed Mr Carling on
 this thread, so hit, "Reply All".   Hopefully,
 he will chime in and lend some further encouragement to this
 effort.  Let’s set the example and take some of Mr.
 Carling’s money.
