I never thought I would have joined the GOP lol. I don't really like the GOP platform all that much. Are they going to take the LP off the ballots?

I'm not sure about that proposal. You're saying that the NJLP should do away with dues? hmm. Well, I guess you could just limit it to donations, but I'm pretty sure the budget will take a hit for that. There are advantages and disadvantages; maybe more members, but less money. How does the GOP do it? Do they charge dues?

Maybe take a survey to see what LP members think of it. Will they donate more than their dues? I don't know.

I would like to stick with the LP. Are we going to lose our ballot access?? I think we need to draw the line somewhere or else the Party will go under as we wait to vote for new "Ron Paul Republicans." I would really love to see the LP become a MAJOR party. Imagine that.

Has Ron Paul become the LP's greatest enemy? Or its best chance? hmm

As I've stated earlier, the message is not the problem with the LP. I believe the LP has the best message. The problem is that most people don't even know about the LP. So shouldn't we divert more resources on getting people signed up? If we have like 122 LP voters in a district, how can we expect to win? You're betting against basic math. 122 voters with 100% turnout wouldn't be able to win on our opponent's worst turnout. That's the problem. If we get the signups, we can get the votes. I have seen Democratic activists canvass my last town to get people registered to vote, they weren't telling people who to vote for.

I think this is something we should do.

***update***

I looked over the njgop. They don't seem to charge any dues, they go on volunteers. This could be more beneficial... maybe fundraiser drives? Straw polls? etc. These things could bring in money, but I still don't know. I'm no expert at this stuff.

Whatever works best!
