<div dir="auto">I guess if you don't like the LNC and want to disaffiliate you should probably motion to pay back the money we received for ballot access--how can you take money from people you consider, "...unprofessional, immature, and incompetent.". That's great character; bash the people that supported us, then try to sabotage the whole state party and quit them. That'll accomplish liberty in our lifetime. Great idea!<br><br></div>

Good evening Libertarians,
</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
Adding to the agenda, I move to direct Field Operations to work with Communications, IT Division, and the Executive Committee to assemble and conduct a membership survey by the end of 2022. The survey should gather member feedback about the following topics:
</div>
<div dir="auto">
- Preferred communication channels
</div>
<div dir="auto">
- Local chapter needs
</div>
<div dir="auto">
- Candidate support and outreach
</div>
<div dir="auto">
- LPIL messaging
</div>
<div dir="auto">
- National LP messaging
</div>
<div dir="auto">
- Strategic priorities for 2023 through 2024
</div>
<div dir="auto">
- Whether or not the LP of Illinois should disaffiliate from the Libertarian National Committee
</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
Rationale:
</div>
<div dir="auto">
I've seen enough from our unprofessional, immature, and incompetent LNC. I would argue that our state is the most professionally led and well-managed in the country. While I would love to go straight to a motion to disaffiliate from the national party, I would want to do our due diligence as a body to hear from our membership before acting as a State Central Committee. Regardless of the results of the question about disaffiliation, I believe conducting this survey would be a valuable exercise to gather helpful feedback about how the party can make improvements and add value to our members, candidates, donors, and local chapters with or without our already limited engagement with national.
