[Lnc-business] proposed changes to membership program

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

This is on the agenda for next week, and I think best handled there.  We
might be able to give more and it’s a test case for the Candidate Support
Committee

     Writing in favor: I have long advocated that LP institutions offer
     small symbolic seed contributions to encourage bottom-up
     fund-raising by candidates and project initiators. This proposed
     contribution meets that criteria. Like Larry Sharpe, Senator Ebke
     has inspired us with her astounding fund-raising acumen and, along
     with Larry, set the standard for Libertarian candidates. While we
     are waiting to roll out our candidate support criteria committee, if
     there ever was a legitimate contribution to a serious, dedicated,
     and ethical Libertarian candidate in a critical race with a good
     chance of WINNING, this is it.
     If this proposal can be handled more expeditiously at the upcoming
     April 21-22 LNC meeting in Denver, I will happily withdraw the
     motion.
