[Lnc-business] Other memberships

[Tim Hagan]

They can be considered Donors (as long as the FEC report properly
records the source of the contribution), but the Bylaws are clear that
members are those who signed the certification/pledge. I don't see where
the Bylaws would allow "dependent" memberships for those incapable of
certifying that they oppose the initiation of force to achieve political
or social goals. 

When gift sustaining memberships are made through www.lp.org/gift [1],
e-mails are sent to the recipients asking them if they want to become a
member with a link to sign the certification. 

How did these people sign up their dependents? Did they sign the pledge
for their dependents?
