forwarding three email ballot results
by Alicia Mattson 18 Jun '18

18 Jun '18

A party member has contacted me to note that the results of email ballots 2018-06, 2018-07, and 2018-08 were not in the email list archive. Certainly I have been under the impression that I had sent those results, and they're marked as completed on my tracking system. I looked in my sent box, and the results are there as sent...but for some reason all three of them were sent FROM alicia.mattson(a)lp.org TO alicia.mattson(a)lp.org instead of to the list. Perhaps something strange is happening in changing the sender from my Gmail account to the LP account instead. Not sure. PEBKAC is the most likely explanation, of course, though it's strange that the same thing happened on three consecutive email ballot results. Regardless, I'll be forwarding those emails to the list so they're posted. -Alicia A party member has contacted me to note that the results of email ballots 2018-06, 2018-07, and 2018-08 were not in the email list archive.

It has been my goal over the past two years for prove the value of good representation and will assist my successor in any way possible to keep Region 1 with this renewed focus and standards. -- *In Liberty,* *Caryn Ann Harlos* Region 1 Representative, Libertarian National Committee (Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - Caryn.Ann.

Ideas for Change
by Starchild 17 Jun '18

17 Jun '18

I recently posted some ideas on IPR (IndependentPoliticalReport.com) for changes I believe would benefit the Libertarian Party and our cause of freedom. Some of these ideas will not be new to some of you, but I'm posting the full list here for the record. 1) More transparency in things like committee meetings, staff salaries, contracts, leaders’ contact information, and party governance in general; make our commitment to institutional transparency much stronger and more ingrained in our structure and culture than it is now 2) Turn LP.org into a much more interactive, participatory website (more polls, more calls to action, let LNC members blog again, let LP members comment on stories, have social media profiles, etc.) 3) Get our conventions out of hotels and without sacrificing business sessions or speakers, make them more like festivals, with more music, art, workshops, outdoors activities, and a variety of events to attract a more diverse range of supporters and attendees, including having lots of opportunities and reasons for non-libertarians to attend and be exposed to libertarian ideas without paying 4) Make party headquarters more of a community center and activist workspace open to everyone, so it feels less like the private domain of staff and we can get more use out of the space, and put a “mobile HQ” on the road (an RV or some similar large vehicle or vehicles emblazoned with libertarian messaging to travel around the country participating in local events, candidate rallies, affiliate support, etc.) 5) A functional committee system (more committees staffed with more LP members doing more work in a more open, democratic, and accessible manner, with regular, detailed public reports and Q&A sessions before the entire LNC) 6) Less of a “strong chair” system – preferably this would entail a bylaws change, but a chair could unilaterally delegate significant powers and relinquish power in practice without altering the bylaws 7) Revamp LP News to publish monthly, and both this and other written and online communications to include more news of the broader struggle for freedom, rather than the current narrow focus on the party, with an emphasis on seeking to appeal to non-traditional libertarian constituencies and people on the left at least as much as people on the right 8) Take a stronger line in support of Libertarians and other pro-freedom activists who really stick their necks out for the cause, e.g. suffer arrest, make major sacrifices, etc.; honor these individuals and hold them up as role models 9) Do more coalition-building around specific pro-freedom issues, with other groups both inside and outside the libertarian movement and make more party publicity and resources available to empower victims of government aggression and small marginalized groups fighting for legitimate rights that do not enjoy much public or institutional support (their numbers add up!) 10) Stop wasting party money by flying multiple staff members to LNC meetings and paying for fancy meeting rooms and catered food for those meetings 11) Strengthen our ties and increase our communications and collaborative efforts (e.g. joint press releases and declarations, summits etc.) with other libertarian movement organizations both in the U.S. and around the world, including student organizations – make campus outreach a much higher priority and do more to integrate student groups into the party 12) Engage in more “guerilla activism” such as civil disobedience, unorthodox and unexpected tactics, adopt more of a “revolutionary spirit” and less of a bourgeoisie, white collar approach 13) Mobilize the resources of our membership (e.g. tap Libertarians with knowledge and expertise in specific areas to speak out about those issues on behalf of the party, identify Libertarians who own land, commercial offices, etc., that can be used for billboards or signage to increase our visibility, host meetings, conventions and events, etc.) Do you like any of these ideas? If so, let me know which, and perhaps we can craft some motion language and get something going.

Arizona GOP
by Craig Bowden 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

I wanted to bring something to everyone's attention to be watching for, especially since I am not able to sponsor motions. Kevin McCormick appears to be being challenged by the Arizona GOP to kick him off the ballot. This is the message he put out on his page today: "The Arizona GOP is taking their voter suppression efforts to a new level. First, they increased the number of signatures I needed to be on the ballot from 133 to 3,152. Not only did I clear this unreasonably high requirement, I collected signatures from voters in EVERY county of Arizona and submitted the 2nd most online signatures of any candidate. Instead of accepting that the voters want a REAL choice in the election the chairman of the Arizona GOP Jonathan Lines has filed a lawsuit in an effort to intimidate and prevent me from appearing on the ballot. His suit claims that over 90% of the in person signatures that myself and my team collected aren’t actual voters in Arizona. Over 10,000 people have met me in person throughout the state and signed my petition to be on the ballot but according to the GOP you don’t exist. This lawsuit is nothing more than a power play by the GOP to run up expensive legal bills for my campaign and suppress the voices of YOU the voter in Arizona. I will not be intimidated and I will not drop out of the race. I will be fighting Johnny Lines and the GOP in court. I need your help in this fight. If you signed my petition please message me on FB or email us at GOPFraud@McCormickForLiberty. This will be an expensive fight. Please help us win by making a donation to our legal fund. https://www.mccormickforliberty.com/donate" I think we need to highlight this and be ready to back his efforts if the suit isn't thrown out. Thanks, Craig Bowden Region 1 Alternate
