If it was resolved on how to do this, with the FEC filing, I'm curious as to why the LNC and/or the state affiliates weren't informed as soon as a method was discovered. At one time, LPIN had a joint membership effort with national. It was stopped for the supposed legal reasons. SO, if national figured out a way to implement this, why weren't ALL the state affiliates told? I'm with Alicia, in that this is poor timing. As one state affiliate will go live with this, and most of the other state affiliates haven't even heard of this.

Then a new idea was suggested by an LPIN member, and I recently inquired on behalf of a plan LPIN might do. With LPIN gathering national memberships, and some of the funds (after the $25 needed for national) to be retained by LPIN, the remaining sent to national for a person's membership. Robert Kraus had explained to me that a state affiliate needs to be an FEC filer. (Which LPIN is). I was unaware that there was already something along these lines being implemented. So, yes, I think that LPIN and other state affiliates within Region 3 would be interested.
