Logo site?
by Daniel Wiener 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

What is the address of the web site where we can see all of the logo submissions? Dan -- *"In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s the truth. Then we compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare the computation results to nature or we say compare to experiment or experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is. If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.”* -- Richard Feynman (https://tinyurl.com/lozjjps)

LNC Session - Hotel Shuttle alternate
by Scott L. 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

I am planning on walking from Phoenix Airport to the LNC Meeting hotel this weekend. I know that sounds weird, but it isn't as far as you might think: 1. Take the Sky Train from your terminal to the 44th St/Washington Metro Rail Stop (free of charge). 2. From there, you can walk to the hotel. It is about 7/8 of a mile. I do this because I don't like waiting for shuttles, and because I need the exercise. If you have wheels on your luggage, you might want to give it a try. Scott Lieberman

Re: [Lnc-business] Beck and Savage LEAVE the GOP
by Scott L. 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

I don't listen to Michael Savage. I do listen to Glenn Beck, and I have never heard him mention the "Conservative Party" on the air. The Conservative Party was not claiming that either host joined the Conservative Party. If you don't believe me, re-read the original e-mail, below. The Conservative Party is just emphasizing that the two nationally syndicated radio hosts left the GOP, and neither of the hosts were willing to announce that they were joining the Libertarian Party or the Constitution Party. That is not Mr. Beck's or Dr. Savage's fault: that is entirely the fault of the Libertarian Party. I would love to see our leadership extend welcome mats to any radio personality who expresses an interest in libertarianism or the Libertarian Party. It is sad that some of the leaders of the LP think that the best way to elect Libertarians to public office is to piss off any non-anarchists who dare to express even a casual interest in libertarianism or the Libertarian Party.

Regarding the e-mail I sent to you a few hours ago: "Glenn Beck and Michael Savage have finally come to their collective senses and announced they have decamped from the Republican Party" I sent that e-mail to Todd Grayson. Here is his reply. He gave me permission to share it with you. Scott Lieberman _____ On Behalf Of Todd Grayson Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2015 6:20 AM Subject: Re: Beck and Savage LEAVE the GOP I do think it's funny that the Conservative Party understands how important it is to get big names on board to add interest and credibility. It's very, very sad, but the best thing that could happen to the LP is if Kim Kardashian announced she was a die-hard Libertarian and wanted to help the party win some big time elections. That would get us more media attention than anything else we could do. Again, it's a tragedy, but we need to recognize the America that we live in, not the America we dream about.

Revised December 2014 Financial Reports
by Tim Hagan 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

A revised set of December 2014 Financial Reports is attached. In consultation with the Audit Committee Chair, we've adjusted it to reflect a bequest from a will that the LNC was notified about in 2014. December 2014 revenues now include the estimated amount of the bequest as a donation under General Fundraising. On the Balance Sheet, $32,400 (the 2014 contribution limit) of the bequest was added in Other Current Assets, and the estimated remanding $217,600 shows up in Other Assets as Non-Current Collectables. The will's executor has not given us the exact amount to be received yet. Staff bonuses of $19,232 for 2014 were also added to these revised reports. Tim Hagan

Where is Mom when you need him?
by William Redpath 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Scott Lieberman has been really weak this LNC term in his usual role as the LNC meeting marm, so I guess I have got to step in. It's going to be HOT in Phoenix this coming weekend, with highs in the 90s. Bill Redpath

One more logo, very worth considering
by Arvin Vohra 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi all, I just received a very promising logo, forwarded by Norm, created by Aimee Love. This is a grayscale version attached, and there are various color options as well. I believe that a logo must 1. Look good., and 2. Relate to the central ideas and goals of an organization. Our mission is cutting government. This logo clearly and cleverly shows that. It doesn't really require any explanation. It's immediate, clear, and helps define us by what we do: cut government. In 2016, many people will be talking about liberty in the vaguest terms possible, without pledging any major cuts in government. A logo like this one would be a great step in clearly defining our party as government cutters, not philosophizers. I have seen a few mockups in which the capital is replaced with tanks, drug war images, etc. I strongly urge you to carefully consider the possibilities of this logo, ways in which it could be attached to specific outreach on specific cuts, and how it could help us spearhead major cuts to government. It's easily scalable, recognizable on a tiny mobile phone (unlike our current logo, which quickly loses coherence on a tiny screen). It's a departure from the torch motif, but I frankly don't see a major advantage to a torch. The RLC already uses it too. Why? Because it is such a vague metaphor, and so devoid of any action, that anyone can use it. -Arvin
