I am a bit confused though. As I had also inquired a month or so ago, about a joint membership with a state affiliate. I was told it wasn't possible, for various legal reasons.
That link doesn't seem any different then what I'd asked about. Very strange.

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.

Ms. Mattson is right - and I forgot about that policy manual provision. Is there any reason this cannot wait until November? *In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).
