Re: [Lnc-business] Save Scranton article on LP.org – Why cover non-Libertarian freedom fighters?
by Daniel Hayes 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Starchild, It sounds like you might be supportive of the Affinity Group Support committee. It's something that the Democrats and Republicans actually use to my understanding. Affinity groups seems like something that might be more useful to a party of activists than to establishment parties. We have overlap on many specific issues with people that otherwise do not line up with our party AT ALL. If we can make better use of this as long as there are some core libertarians involved with whatever group it is, we can hopefully shift some paradigms. That all said, I need to get back to work on the likely to be "late" Affiliate Support Committee Report. Daniel Hayes LNC At Large Member On Dec 07, 2016, at 04:44 AM, Starchild <sfdreamer(a)earthlink.net> wrote: I want to commend whoever on staff is responsible for the article on LP.org about the group Save Scranton, which is fighting to defend the people of that town in Pennsylvania against the abuses of bloated government, along with whoever used the national LP Twitter account to tweet about them back in July, and Carla Howell for taking the time to talk with and give advice to someone from the group back in January. The LP.org piece, published December 3, attracted my attention in part because it's the only story on the front page of our website that does not mention the Libertarian Party: https://www.lp.org/st-fleur-using-ballot-measure-to-force-city-bankruptcy/ Wait, you may be saying – am I arguing that not mentioning the LP in this story is a good thing? Yes! Every other currently listed story on the front page of LP.org explicitly mentions our party. Of course it's good to cover and praise Libertarians who are fighting for freedom, but it's also good to cover others who are fighting for freedom, who do not necessarily have any connection to the Libertarian Party*. The fact that doing so can in turn generate positive exposure for the LP among folks who might not otherwise be much aware of us... http://savescranton.com/2016/01/13/the-ball-rolling/ http://savescranton.com/2016/07/14/thanks-to-the-libertarian-party-for-the-… ...is a nice side effect, but it's not the main reason we should do it. We should do it because it shows that we are not just another self-promoting organization mainly concerned with tooting our own horn, but part of a larger movement for freedom: It sends the message that if you stand for freedom, we stand with you. Isn't that part of what being the Party of Principle is about? Love & Liberty, ((( starchild ))) At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee (415) 625-FREE @StarchildSF *I don't know whether Gary St. Fleur or his Save Scranton group have any connections to the Libertarian Party, but if they do the article does not mention it. If they haven't been aware of our supported the LP in the past, this kind of recognition from us may make them more likely to do so in the future. _______________________________________________ Lnc-business mailing list Lnc-business(a)hq.lp.org http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.org

Draft Budget
by Tim Hagan 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

The draft budget to be considered at next month's meeting is attached. Some notes: The Operating Budget worksheet, column F (highlighted in blue) is the budget to be considered. Its numbers are derived from the yellow-highlighted column in the Acct Detail worksheet. The footnotes at the bottom of the Acct Detail worksheet explain how we came up with the 2017 numbers. Many of the numbers are based on the 2013 and 2015 numbers. We are predicting that membership will be 19,583 in January, dropping to 15,000 at the end of next year. This gives an average throughout the year of 17,292, which is 28% higher than the average of 2013 and 2015 membership. Some revenues and expenses are increased 28% to account for this increased membership. Because of our accounting method, the value of the office shows up as a fixed asset with the mortgage as a long-term liability, and paying down the mortgage's principal is a transfer from checking to the mortgage. Likewise, the bequest held in a trust is also an asset, which gets transferred to Cash in the books when we receive a check. Rows 46 and 47 on the Operating Budget worksheet show these transfers so the spreadsheet can show the surplus or deficit of the cash. For the cash flow, the draft budget has a net deficit of $154,900. Tim Hagan
