The Travis County Texas Libertarians averaged about 10 people who
showed up to monthly meetings and other things. Between meetings
maybe 3 or 4 of them spent a few hours on Libertarian Party
projects. Their budget was about $500 to $1,000 per year, if that.
What group does way more, with much less? Some probably exist, but
I'd be interested in a few examples. <br>
<br>
I suspect other groups she is referring to do way more with way
more. They may not have as big of a budget as the Travis County
Libertarians, but I suspect they have way more volunteers who spend
way more time and more of their own money on things. I could be
wrong, but I'd be interested in the names of such organizations. <br>
<br>
The national Libertarian Party has the budget of half of one small
McDonald's location, or about 1/30th of the Cato Institute, yet I
bet more people have heard of the Libertarian Party and know what it
is than the Cato Institute, and that's largely because of our
candidates at high levels on the ballot. That's not to disparage the
Cato Institute. I've given $3,900 to Cato, though it's been a few
years.<br>
<br>
By the way, if we had not had you running for office, then "she"
would not have been involved at all with the LP, right? Another good
reason to run candidates. Some people will volunteer for Libertarian
Party candidates, but not for the local Libertarian Party
bureaucracy. <br>
