Chair Aaron Starr – Old financial data was corrupted, and Aaron has been transitioning to Quick Books and Donor Perfect. We are importing about 8,000 names of current and recently lapsed members plus older large donors, at a cost of about $285 per month plus the initial conversion expenses. There have been weekly teleconferences regarding the 2007 convention, and it has been painful. Assembly Member Audra Strickland will consider inserting legislation on our behalf regarding write-in votes. We’ve been demanding information from counties regarding elected officials and their voter ID’s, so we can match those officials against voter registration data.

Susan praised the Liberty Decides program as being innovative and useful. Susan argued Liberty Decides was not an ‘objective measure of excitement and strength’ as advertised. She suggested the program be altered to indicate ‘how many unique donors each candidate has brought to the program’. Susan recommended we keep the APRC rather than abolish it. Finally, Susan noted “staff are acting is if there is a bona fide Mission Statement”. She was referring to Article 3 of the Bylaws, Purposes, which states a purpose of the Party is to move ‘public policy in a libertarian direction by building a political party that elects Libertarians to public office’. She requested LNC to “direct staff to make no further references to the LP’s Mission of ‘electing Libertarians to office’.” Barbara Howe (NC) noted a former LNC board member; Candi Copas has given birth to a baby girl.
