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. (If FEC filers) --- Elizabeth Van Horn On 2019-10-15 18:33, Daniel Fishman wrote:

History behind this. A few months ago Jess Mears held a webinar with state and county membership directors and invited me to address questions about the possibility of a joint membership form, which had come up in a previous conversation.

I had prior to the meeting consulted with Robert Kraus about the FEC implications and we agreed it could be done with states that are FEC filers. I discussed this in the Membership Directors meeting, and described essentially the webpage listed above. There was some interest among the participants.

Fast forward to last week and Colorado approached me with a plan. They are hiring a telemarketer to call all the registered Libertarians in Colorado and are going to get them to become members at national as well as make a donation to LPCO.

The page has cleared APRC and is explicitly approved by the LPCO chair. It has been suggested I notify the LNC of this plan and ask if there are strenuous objections to making this publicly available. LPCO has a communication going out tomorrow, and they would like to advertise this page.

To anticipate other questions, we can make a page like this available to any state that is a FEC filers. I would need a formal request from the state chair to proceed.

Your reply is appreciated.
