During this year I have spent six months of my limited time and probably $5,000 of my limited money in an attempt to “improve” the LNC. I failed, and I probably should have known I would fail.
Well, I’ve had plenty of time to think about it and I vow not to make that mistake again.
I am a Maverick and Mavericks think:
Why on Earth does a so-called “Political Party” with 15,000 “members” need a Headquarters, Executive Director and Staff just to ride herd on 50 State Affiliates, none of which are being helped by the LNC?
We believe the whole operation is upside down, which is why the LP is not getting anywhere. The action takes place where the voting takes place – States and their Counties.
I’m with sane on this.
Hmm so they don’t help the states? Ballot access funds for petitioners, attorneys at no-charge to help in law suits, monthly data-dumps with membership lists to help the state. It’s a two-way street and if a state doesn’t have it’s organizational “crap” together, then maybe they don’t deserve attention from national. Fine line between the LNC not doing anything for the states and then the LNC being accused of “monitoring” or “dictating” how a state is run.
