Thank you to all our donors, both new and recurring. If you are not a recurring monthly donor to LP Illinois, please visit www.lpillinois.org and click DONATE. A monthly donation of $5, $10, $25, or any amount helps out a lot. If you cannot donate monthly, please consider a one-time donation. Also please consider Lifetime Memberships, which will get you into future conventions. We paid for a convention earlier this year and are having an Election Night Watch Party, so please help us replenish the treasury. Please reach into your couch cushions, put aside a few coffees, and give whatever you can spare, large or small, to help rebuild. Become a donor today by clicking here: https://lpillinois.org/contribute/donate/. If you are not a Precinct Committeeperson, please consider becoming one. Visit https://lpillinois.org/precinct-committeemen/ to learn more. All-time is $31,753.27 give or take. I have recently audited my donations. There are a few things I'd like to discuss with the Treasurer offline regarding some of the donations. My donors brought in $502.70 in August thanks to several large donations and $167.25 in September. Cook County ballots in at least one precinct do not give the option to vote for Michael Murphy, the Cook County Clerk of the Circuit Court candidate. We are waiting to hear back from the Clerk County Clerk's attorney to find out more. If you have a Cook County mail-in ballot that does not give an option to vote for our candidates, call the Cook County Clerk's office. Chris Laurent appeared on Hard Lens Media's morning YouTube show yesterday to discuss the misprinted ballots. E-mails to the general list went out regarding the slate and announcing the Chicagoland Election Night Watch Party, happening on Nov. 5. Food and drinks were provided. I sent out a press release announcing our slate of candidates. Craig Dellamore read it and asked to interview Kopinski but Kopinski was admitted to the hospital. I served jury duty, so I missed the Cato Institute program last week. Jury duty was an eye-opening experience and I recommend everyone do it if they can. I attended the fundraiser for Chris Laurent last Saturday with Tsatsoulis and Humay. Please consider donations to Libertarian candidates. Candidates who are fundraising can see me to send an e-mail out to our list as I did in previous election cycles. The task force created last meeting drafted flyers and the Oliver / ter Maat campaign expressed no objections. The task force has hundreds of flyers ready to distribute. The Facebook campaign is the next step. I will be running a write-in candidacy for State Rep in the 39th House District. Write in Justin Tucker if that is your district. My opponent is Will Guzzardi who voted for HB4488. I start classes toward a Paralegal Certificate from DePaul University on Oct. 29. I want to use my certificate for liberty. Thanks to all our candidates, volunteers, donors, and voters who made a difference this election cycle. Thank you. Write in Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat for President and Vice President. Vote Libertarian. Best, Justin Tucker Executive Director, Libertarian Party of Illinois

27 Jul '25

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-PYE7tUl6U The link above is a replay of last Thursday's IT Division informational call with Vice Chair Paul Darr and also national LP IT Eric Fowler, whose perspective from Arizona with CiviCRM is similar to Illinois. Much of the discussion was about the Zoho platform and the potential costs, opportunities and obstacles we could face moving from LPStates (the evolving version of CiviCRM we have today) to Zoho. Some links shared on the call and a few from recent reviews (less than a year old) : https://www.zoho.com/one/?src=zGlobalAllProducts https://www.zoho.com/one/pricing/ https://www.emailtooltester.com/en/crm/zoho-review/ https://www.edzola.com/post/leveraging-zoho-for-non-profit-success-an-overv… It was a very interesting discussion, please review it if you have time. I will include some notes from the call in the July IT Division report . -- Live Free, Bob Blair-Smith II Libertarian Party of Illinois IT Division Director it(a)lpillinois.org (630) 401-5788

Hi, The annual LPIL Picnic will be on Saturday, September 6. I have created a Facebook event in the private "Members" FB group. I am "friends" with roughly 50 out of the 275 members of this group and FB will only let me invite those I'm friends with. Please spread the word among our members and chapters. If it would be easier to invite people directly via FB, let me know and I can make you a co-host for the event. Thank you, Paul DiMasi
