Illinois Press/Media List
by Paul DiMasi 06 Sep '24

All, This was mentioned on the last call, and I figured it would be useful all around. Some of this was from a list Justin had his hands on. I added to it mostly just using Wikipedia for finding media outlets and then going to each outlet's website for general contact information. I have only ever used it for something related to Dan Robin's campaign last October. Perhaps it would be of better use in the right hands. Paul DiMasi 847-917-0143

Issue With Logging in to LPIllinois.org (CiviCRM)
by Kevin Mahoney 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Kelly, I hope you can help me or steer me to whoever can solve this CiviCRM problem. I've been unable to log in to the LP Illinois CiviCRM for a couple of weeks now. Here's what is happening: I go to the lpillinois.org site and enter my login and password. I then get my 2FA authentication number in my personal email. Then, no matter if I enter the authentication number in my login page, or click on the "Continue" link in the 2FA email, that is where everything stops. If I hit "continue", it stops at https://lpillinois.org/wp-admin/ If I enter the authorization number on the original login, it stops at https://lpillinois.org/wp-login.php?action=itsec-2fa&itsec-hb-token=act A few times, a CAPTCHA page has come up, I was able to proceed to the login, but it still hangs up as above. I've tried different browsers with the same result (I get a 500 error with Edge, or it takes me to the public site, not CRM). Also, once I've tried to log in, unless I clear all my history and cache, if I try again, it goes directly to the logout (https://lpillinois.org/wp-login.php?itsec-hb-token=act&loggedout=true&wp_la…) I don't know, maybe my bookmark is corrupted or something. Can you send me the link to our CRM page, maybe that would help. Thanks. -- Kevin Mahoney Membership Director Libertarian Party of Illinois

Re: [LPIL - Board of Directors] LPIL Board Meeting re. Platform Committee
by Ken Mattes 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

We have decided on Bill as the primary delegate. Thank you Bill and Zach for attending tonight's meeting. I would like to continue discussions with Selah and Zach to determine our ranked alternates. There is no limit to how many alternates we can appoint, but only the seated delegate (or one substitute alternate) can vote in the meetings. Most states have zero alternates but Colorado has three. All delegates and alternates can participate in discussion during the meetings. These discussions are a great opportunity to develop committee experience and network with Libertarians on a national level, so I am especially interested in using this opportunity to develop new party leaders and/or candidates.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Platform Committee Questionnaire Date: 2023-11-21 11:58 From: Zach Ganger <zganger19(a)gmail.com> To: Ken Mattes <secretary(a)lpillinois.org> Ken, 1. No, until recently I was the sole income source for my family of 5. I am planning on joining after the holiday spendings. 2. See above. 3. I want to help the libertarian party as it transitions into center stage and continues the contest with Democrat and Republican parties. Bylaws and convention rules that allow debate, discussion, and a unified nimble party are critical to that future. The behind-the-scenes work is what sets the stage for everything else going smoothly. 4. This will be my first political committee but I have served on dozens of hiring committees, several large project management groups for construction projects, the National Strength & Conditioning Association state director committee (both as a member and as the director for Texas), numerous research and needs analysis committees (student referendum, Comprehensive Program Review, etc.), planning committees for various large scale events and banquets (both as a member and as the chair), wage and budget committees, and a public outreach committee.

If so, when did you join? Have you been a member of another state party? I'm currently a member of the Libertarian Party. My reason for joining is very simple, I want to respect and uphold the Libertarian ideals and to 2. Are you a current member of the National Libertarian Party? If so, I joined 3 years ago 3. What would you like to accomplish as a Platform Committee delegate? With the party's help, I want to aid in shaping Libertarian's party role by proposing new ideas & building off pre-established policies. My dream is to become so anchored with the party's ideals that it can survive the modern day. 4. Please summarize any experience working on committees, including local chapters and any campaigns. I've worked as an intern for the Mikva Challenge organization. I participated in policy proposal meetings, brainstormed ideas, and advocated for youth both in the streets and on paper. I worked on Mary Miller's campaign. Rang up phones reminding people to vote, and passed out pamphlets and badges on the streets.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Platform Committee Questionnaire Date: 2023-11-13 19:46 From: Bill Bergman <billbergman34(a)gmail.com> To: Ken Mattes <secretary(a)lpillinois.org> 1. Yes, at least, I think so, after looking at my email history on an account I had stopped using. I don't recall when I joined, if I did. It would have been in recent years. I certainly haven't been active or dedicated, yet. I haven't been a member of another party, formally, ever, I'm pretty sure. 2. No, I don't think I'm a current member. I will likely join soon, especially if this opportunity to help out develops further. 3. I would like to help LP leaders continue to improve the logical consistency, readability, and motivational impact of the Libertarian Party Platform. I care about ideas, and while the ideas in the platform are pretty timeless, their time is especially timely now. 4. I am a current "Voting Member" of an economic research nonprofit. A year or two ago I was invited to serve on a governance committee, and tried to help out. I missed one meeting given teaching responsibilities, and the leader of that committee asked me to consider stepping aside, perhaps a longer story there. After I left that committee, the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the organization asked me to serve as a member of the Board of Trustees, and I recently accepted his invitation to run for election to that committee, but was not elected. In recent days, however, I tried to help out with a productive idea for their "Bylaws Review Committee," a new bylaw, and after some back-and-forth with a significant member of that committee, that member thanked me and put the proposed new bylaw out for consideration by the voting membership. I can share references, CV, etc., if you like. Also, here's a copy of today's version of a daily newsletter I do on government financial issues. https://govmoneynews.godaddysites.com/newsletter/f/govmoneynews----november… I'd just like to reiterate my enthusiasm for this role, should it arise. I might be a good party leader, and/or candidate, down the line.

DRAFT LNC Platform Committee nominee vacancy email for proofreading
by Ken Mattes 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

The Libertarian Party of Illinois is seeking volunteers for the LNC Platform Committee. We are one of ten states that delegates a member to this national committee. The Platform Committee recommends bylaw amendments and convention rule amendments to the assembled delegates during national conventions. Those amendments are then debated and voted on by the delegates. The members of the Platform Committee generally meet immediately preceding a national convention and 3-6 months before a national convention to consider proposals and adopt a report. The past several terms the committee has discussed matters and conducted some business by email and has also emailed a survey to LP members soliciting feedback on its proposals. You must be available for online meetings and to fully participate in the work of the committee. There is also a meeting that will take place onsite on the day before the 2024 National Convention in Washington DC, and likely one more in-person meeting at a location to be determined by the committee midway or so through the term. This is a volunteer position. Please email me at secretary(a)lpillinois.org if you are interested! -- Ken Mattes Secretary, Libertarian Party of Illinois secretary(a)lpillinois.org 815 342 5177
