<div>While I was state chair, I was a vocal proponent of what I had called a "Single Check Out" program. I was previously told that this is not an option due to FEC regulations. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Discussions within the still-forming IT committee are already looking into this, because others also see value in such a concept. If it is legal, I strongly support a Single Check Out system. It is to the benefit of both the national and state affiliate to have a single place to sign up for one or both organizations. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Starchild - in addition, we can't send out checks to affiliates in many cases, so doing it that way isn't really a possibility anymore. Personally, I think the concern that national is going to steal affiliate money is overblown, but regardless, that program can't exist. I think it's relatively easy to do the automation you speak, with no need to outsource the work. That, at least, is my impression.
<div> </div>
<div>But that's all an implementation question. A lot comes before that, such as if we want something like that at all, how it should be structured, how to divide up responsibilities between state and national, how the division should look, etc. For those things, I think Caryn Ann's suggestion is a good one.</div>

My sense is that most members would like a system that lets you join all levels of the party (national/state/local) with one form and one payment. But I think many grassroots activists are justifiably wary of a system that sends all the money to national and then relies on staff to send out checks to state and local affiliates. Ideal would be a system that automatically divvies up funds collected according to where they're supposed to go and disperses them simultaneously to all levels of the party, so no level would be dependent on another level doing its job properly. I wonder whether it's possible to totally automate something like that, or whether the work could be outsourced at a reasonable cost to someone whose sole focus was this sort of payment transfers (as opposed to just one of many hats staff are wearing).</div>
