style="font-size:12.0pt;">Robert, there
is a simple solution. I believe that
"resurrection" should be treated as the
functional equivalent of a
successful revival from cryogenic
storage. As such the resurrected person
(irrespective of his or her potential
divinity) would be recategorized as </span></font><font
size="2"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;">“un-dead”
and the Post-Life Membership
would be suspended until such time as
that person/divinity later re-died.
The important take-away is that anyone
categorized as "undead" would
have to purchase a regular LP membership
in order to be listed as a sustaining
member, unless that person/divinity was
already a life member.</span></font></div>

vote to assign a committee to
look into hiring
a professional outside

style="font-size:12.0pt;">While
I like this
in principle, I have some
concerns in practice. In
only one state ( Illinois
), deceased
people frequently vote.
In a few other states,
they do so on an irregular
basis, and in many states,
only currently live people
are permitted to
vote. This may give
unfair advantages to some
affiliates at the expense
of others. </span></font></div>

style="font-size:12.0pt;">Furthermore, in my
state of Connecticut ,
some towns and
Congressional districts
have affiliates, while
others used to
have affiliates. The
latter affiliates are
sometimes said to have
died. Would post-live
members be organized
into dead affiliates?
Along those lines, what
impact would post-life
memberships have on the
delegate
allocation algorithm? </span></font></div>

I like the idea, and I
prefer to offer some
alternatives rather than
a blanket
dismissal. I would
suggest that some of
these problems can be
ameliorated
by adopting, instead, a
plan I call the "it's
complicated"
plan. Under this plan,
all post-life
memberships and pre-life
memberships, which are
called "complex
memberships," would cost
$33,400i and will run
from the day of adoption
of the plan until the
date of
birth of the post-life
member. I believe we
should market this plan
beginning today, and
running until the 2012
Presidential election.</span></font></div>

style="font-style:italic;">When the Libertarian Party raised the price
of Life
Memberships from
$1,000 to $1,500
in 2014, there was
a one-time spike
in the
purchase of Life
Memberships to
beat the deadline,
which resulted in
a revenue
windfall of tens
of thousands of
dollars. That
bump suggested
that other
extended-period
memberships might
be equally
profitable.
Accordingly, the
Re-Membership
Committee was
formed to consider
out-of-the-box
options to the
existing
Libertarian Party
dues structure.
Our committee was
tasked with
presenting its
recommendations in
time for the 2016
national
convention to
consider them.
This is our
committee’s
report.</span></i></div>

<div
class="yiv8875609666MsoNormal"
style="text-align:justify;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;">The Libertarian Party’s membership structure
currently consists
of
non-dues-paying
members who have
signed the
non-initiation-of-force
pledge;
sustaining members
who have paid at
least $25 per
year; and life
members who
have paid $1,500
(or more in some
cases, for higher
honorary levels).
But
each life
membership ends by
definition with
that person’s
death. What
happens
afterwards? In
rare cases
supporters have
left bequests for
the
LP in their wills,
but that is an
unpredictable and
undependable
source of
revenue.
Furthermore, it
provides little
direct benefit to
the donor
after his or her
death, and only
hypothetical
benefit for the
furtherance of
libertarian values
which the donor
will never
actually see.</span></font></div>

<div
class="yiv8875609666MsoNormal"
style="text-align:justify;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;">We propose to solve this problem by offering
Post-Life
Memberships in
the Libertarian
Party, which will
be pre-paid but
take effect only
after a
person’s death,
thus filling a
currently
under-served donor
niche.
Establishing a
much freer society
for our nation and
indeed the entire
world is
a life-and-death
matter and should
be treated that
way. By
purchasing a
Post-Life
Membership, a
person’s
association with
the LP will
transcend that
artificial
boundary, and will
represent an
enduring legacy.</span></font></div>

style="font-size:12.0pt;">P.S. While we had originally intended to
include Pre-Life
LP
memberships with
the Post-Life
proposals, our
committee has been
unable to
complete that
portion by the
April 1<sup>st</sup>
target date.
Several
complex issues
remain to be
resolved, such as
whether the
Pre-Life
memberships
would apply prior
to conception
between the sperm
and the egg, or
prior to
actual birth?
Also, in the case
of a miscarriage,
would the parents
be
entitled to a full
refund or a
pro-rata refund
based on the
fraction of nine
months? And how
would unexpected
multiple births be
handled? For
example, are twins
each entitled to
half of a Pre-Life
membership, or
must
parents buy an
extra one? These
represent
difficult
philosophical
questions upon
which libertarians
can reasonably
disagree.</span></font></div>
