<br />
<br />
So life has changed quite a bit. Along the already rigid, rigged and
<br />
impossible rules of the road we are finding barriers that appear to be
<br />
impassable for the time being. I personally am encouraged by how many
<br />
Libertarians are reaching out to me worried about the party and want to be
<br />
a part of protecting it at this time. As a new member of the Libertarian
<br />
Community, it is great to see that there is a real desire to roll up
<br />
sleeves, adapt to the challenges at hand and do the tedious work associated
<br />
with fundraising. As the convention question hangs over our head and state
<br />
conventions are being pushed off, party members are looking to find their
<br />
new community normal. Leadership will be critical to keeping the party
<br />
collected and this is why I am reaching out today.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Working to implement strategies takes a lot of time developing
<br />
technological capacity and training. I have been working to get our team
<br />
trained up on processes and they have been rocking it. I have also been
<br />
working the phones on call time with both Nick and Dan several times a week
<br />
to make sure we are connecting with important and often neglected donors
<br />
that we had lost or were on the brink of losing.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Having gotten that program up and running smoothly, I would now like to
<br />
work more with LNC members to target communities regionally. So many donors
<br />
and members have questions and even if there are no answers, they are
<br />
finding it reassuring to connect with Libertarian leadership to at least
<br />
understand complexities at a higher level. To have these one-on-one
<br />
conversations makes them feel valued as members and promotes giving.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are many reasons to give to the party right now. We will most
<br />
certainly continue fighting for deregulation and slashing red tape for
<br />
medical professionals. We will continue to tirelessly advocate against
<br />
government interference into small business and free market solutions as
<br />
social distancing continues to be required. We have a great opportunity to
<br />
lead on homeschooling support for parents who are unprepared and
<br />
overwhelmed. Ballot Access is in even more dire straits than before Corona
<br />
hit and will now be fought hard on a legal front in dozens of states
<br />
simultaniously. All of these reasons are great reasons to support the party
<br />
of Liberty. As we see drastic market shifts we need to make sure that
<br />
giving is still a priority for those who value these strengths.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My challenge is that there are many of you and only one of me (two
<br />
actually, now that I have Bekah trained up). I am asking at this time for
<br />
you to reach out to me. If you can find 2 consecutive hours a week, I would
<br />
be thrilled to work with you doing call time in your region. For those of
<br />
you At Large, we have targeted strategies that we can work with you on as
<br />
well. The lines are hot as people are home. Our rate of conversations are
<br />
up and we can really capitalize on this opportunity to connect. These
<br />
conversations are important to you as well as you will learn how
<br />
Libertarian families and individuals are being affected and it will
<br />
certainly make you a better advocate for your constituency.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Please reach back to me via email and let me know if and when you have time
<br />
to give to fundraising. Bekah and I will be happy to work with you and find
<br />
something that can work with your schedule. We are looking forward to
<br />
working with you and making sure that we keep the party strong and united
<br />
on keeping Liberty valued across the country. The Libertarian message could
<br />
not be more important now.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope that you are all in good health and am excited to reconnect with
<br />
each of you.
<br />
