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

Bill Redpath elected National Treasurer
by Jake Leonard 30 May '24

30 May '24

I thought I would pass along for those not watching (or not present at) the National Convention. I would like to be the first to express congratulations to Chair and outgoing Region 6 alternate Bill Redpath on getting elected Treasurer of the Libertarian National Committee. I hope you will join me in expressing the same sentiments. -- *Jake Leonard* *Interim Chairman and Executive Director | ChrisMont Libertarian Central Committee* (/Christian County, Montgomery County/) /*Congress*: 15/ | /*Montgomery County*: Illinois Senate 54/55, Illinois House 107/108/110/ | /*Christian County*: Illinois Senate 48/54, Illinois House 95/96/107/108/ *Political Director and State Central Committeeperson - 15th Congressional | Libertarian Party of Illinois* 800 Capps Ave. | Nokomis, IL 62075-1415 *Mobile*: (217) 565-9709 <tel:2175659709> | (217) 565-9273 <tel:2175659273> || *Work*: (217) 569-4230 ext. 700 <tel:2175694230,700> | (217) 718-5281 <tel:2177185281> || *Fax*: (217) 717-8079 <tel:2177178079> -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com

Political Division - May 2024
by Jake Leonard 21 May '24

21 May '24

Nothing to report outside of the ballot access drive update, which was still limited in detail based on a May 9 phone call I had with Chairman Redpath. I should have less distractions to deal with around mid-November as I complete my B.S. in Communication through the University of Phoenix. Some time after that, I would like to help out with the Communications Division as needed on top of my existing duties as Political Director (because we really need this division to remain active in some capacity). Since I had to abandon plans to run for Circuit Clerk in Montgomery County due to not having any volunteers helping with the drive, I have transitioned to a run for Library Trustee in my library district (in which none of the current appointed trustees on the board wish to run) for one of the two six-year positions. That petition drive doesn't start until September. -- *Jake Leonard* *Interim Chairman and Executive Director | ChrisMont Libertarian Central Committee* (/Christian County, Montgomery County/) /*Congress*: 15/ | /*Montgomery County*: Illinois Senate 54/55, Illinois House 107/108/110/ | /*Christian County*: Illinois Senate 48/54, Illinois House 95/96/107/108/ *Political Director and State Central Committeeperson - 15th Congressional | Libertarian Party of Illinois* 800 Capps Ave. | Nokomis, IL 62075-1415 *Mobile*: (217) 565-9709 <tel:2175659709> | (217) 565-9273 <tel:2175659273> || *Work*: (217) 569-4230 ext. 700 <tel:2175694230,700> | (217) 718-5281 <tel:2177185281> || *Fax*: (217) 717-8079 <tel:2177178079> -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com

IT Division report - May 2024
by Bob Blair-Smith II 21 May '24

21 May '24

The May 2024 IT Division report is attached and linked below. Main highlights from the past month, * Onboarding / Train the Trainer of CRM Training director Carrier and Web Division Director Weishaar * Assessing long term options for CRM updates and impact to LP of Illinois with status quo (National updating servers, moving to Office365, etc, using Zoho for fundraising) * Treasurer Clark notified and asked for investigation on Stripe payment processing.. confirmed other affiliates are observing similar issues and cause is tied to how domain name lp.org is being flagged by Stripe with new server integrations. After consulting other IT Divisions in similar setup, unclear if this is temporary or permanent issue. * AWS is ending support for WorkDocs, our Document Management system for the past 1 year. It is also too expensive and we are over budget on this platform. * Seeking assistance from IT Division and LP of Illinois membership on best platforms for document management https://lpofillinois.awsapps.com/workdocs/index.html#/share/document/af014f… -- Live Free, Bob Blair-Smith II Libertarian Party of Illinois IT Division Director it(a)lpillinois.org (630) 401-5788

Stripe processing
by treasurer＠lpillinois.org 11 May '24

11 May '24

To all, Stripe has put our account with them on hold pending an investigation that we are a prohibited business. They updated their terms of service in April and have inquired about our products and services we sell through Stripe (none but we accept donations) and explain our marketing. I looked at their restricted business list and at the very bottom they have included businesses that accept donations. This is from https://stripe.com/legal/restricted-businesses I don't know if this is a new "clarification" to their terms of service, a reaction to the election craziness or a new hire at Stripe attempting to label us as something illegitimate. We do file with the FEC and only to accept donations from US citizens in the United States. I also highlighted that Libertarians are against the use of force and violence. I will keep you updated as the investigation progresses. Stripe is very adamant that they will not process funds for violent organizations or ones that promote violence. We could reopen the Paypal account or open one at Raise the Money for donations should our Stripe account be shut down. We would need to coordinate that with the IT team should that occur. Both of these services are significantly more expensive than Stripe but handle political donations.
