Please forward to Libertarian activist lists! Post on blogs! Email to your LP friends and drive them nuts! :)
Fellow LPers, I spoke last week with Jim Lark about the possibility of the LP having a booth at CPAC - a large and prestigious annual gathering of conservative students that takes place in DC at the beginning of March. Several Libertarian students here in NC are planning to go. The price of this invaluable exposure for the LP and the Libertarian brand of real conservatism that young conservatives want but are not getting from the Republicans is *only* $1,500. However, Jim Lark was disinclined to have an LP booth there. He commented "At this time, I have not pursued the purchase of a table at CPAC, because I suspect the investment of resources will not bring a suitable return this year." I think this is an opportunity we should not miss, and I think most Libertarians would agree! To show that LP activists will support this sort of outreach, I would like to have $1,500 pledged by February 10th. If we cannot get a booth at that time, there is no loss - you can transfer your pledge to another effort or release it entirely. You need not pay your pledge until enough other folks have pledged to make the $1,500. To track pledges, we will be using Pledgebank: http://www.pledgebank.com/lpCPACbooth I asked for commitments of $25 per person, but if you wish to pledge more, just note that in your comment, or sign up under several names :) (Please only make pledges you can afford and will honor!). If the LNC, in light of this effort, decides to support the conference, then it will take fewer people. At $25, we need *58 commitments* - please make yours one of them. I know you all have a lot of requests for support - but I believe this is an important opportunity that should not be wasted. If you agree, please visit and pledge: http://www.pledgebank.com/lpCPACbooth Thanks, my comrades! -- Susan Hogarth http://www.colliething.com
