McArdle uses Tenth Amendment as campaign theme in U.S.
|
|
by Elizabeth C. Brierly
Libertarian Angela McArdle ran in a field of 24
nonincumbent candidates (20 Democrats, one
Republican, a Green, and an independent) in a
special election for U.S. Congress in
California’s 34th District, which includes
most of downtown Los Angeles. The so-called
primary election was held on April 4, and
the top two vote-getters, both Democrats, are
advancing to the run-off, this June 6.
Democrat Xavier Becerra, who
last held the seat, resigned on Jan. 24 to
become attorney general of California.
As an
active volunteer with two charities and as a
professional paralegal, McArdle was driven
to run for Congress because she’s “seen
firsthand how our government has harmed good
people while rewarding the bad.”
McArdle’s campaign platform,
with its explicit Tenth Amendment theme,
highlighted the power that states have,
against overreach by the federal government.
She had pledged, if elected, to slash the U.S.
military’s “war chest,” balance the federal
budget, eliminate needless bureaucracies,
promote free trade, fully legalize cannabis
and hemp, repeal the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and
NDAA, and eliminate all laws criminalizing
drug use.
McArdle
reflected to the California
Libertarian Activist on her short but
energetic campaign, “I could
not have run this race without my campaign
team,” which included strategist Boomer
Shannon, strategist and web
developer Michael Smith, web
developer Victoria Farrow, all based
locally, along with Colorado-based
graphic designer Eric Mulder,
and, McArdle emphasized, “especially the [Marc
Allan] Feldman Foundation and their
volunteers.”
However, the first-time candidate was surprised by
how little support she received from
the registered Libertarians in the district.
“The active libertarians in southern
California gave me lots of support through
volunteering, campaign contributions, and
general encouragement, but it seems very few
Libertarians went
to the polls,” she observed. “I think lots of
people check the Libertarian box on their
voter registration form, without actually
knowing what a libertarian is. So general
educating of voters and consistent branding of
that word are vital to our candidates’
plain-old vote totals.”
|
McArdle’s advice to other |
When asked what she learned from her first
experience on the campaign trail, McArdle said
she would advise other California Libertarians
running for federal office to “listen to your
constituents about local issues, even if you
are running for federal office. I didn’t win
the election, or place very high (eighteenth
of the 24 candidates),” she acknowledged, “but
I am now being sought out by neighborhood
councils to help with a multitude of local
issues, and I’ve been asked to join my
neighborhood council. So I’d consider that a
success.”
Will she run again?
“Yes; actually, I plan to run for the same
office next time, with a stronger, highly
planned-out campaign, ” she said. “And the other
goals I had set for the 2017 campaign will be
even easier to achieve, the second time around.
Those being: earn media coverage for the LP, and
of course, do my very best to win the election.”

LP of Contra Costa joins public outreach committee
Contra Costa County LP |
by Kevin Moore
The Contra Costa
County LP was thrilled to have our best
results ever in the recent elections. We had
excellent turnout at events to promote
candidates at all levels: Gary Johnson for
president, and state and even local
candidates. We held outreach events at BART
stations, through neighborhood outreach, and
on election day at sites in the county.
This year, we’ve
improved our communication and outreach
methods, and will be participating in a public
outreach committee sponsored by the Contra
Costa County Election committee. We’ll also be
connecting with local organizations to gather
support for future candidates. We’re working
hard to prepare for the 2018 election season
and get the word out about the Libertarian
Party!

The power of leverage
by Mark W.A. Hinkle
Did you ever stop and think, “Why did I join the
Libertarian Party?”
I
joined the LP back in the mid-seventies. I
was young and idealistic, and thought,
“Well, why not join the Libertarian Party? I
share their views. What else do I need to
know?”
Well, over the years, I’ve learned a bit about
alternative parties down through the history
of the United States. Aside from the
principles and idealism involved in joining
a third party, there were and are some sound
practical reasons as well.
One of the main reasons to join an alternative
political party is leverage.
In
the corporate world, if you want to change
the vision, the culture, or the direction of
a large organization, you’ll spend years
climbing the corporate ladder, then, after a
lot of work and with some luck, you might
find yourself in a position to lead the
company in a new direction, or create a
different corporate culture, etc.
Or, you could use leverage from the outside to
accomplish the same objective, by creating a
competing organization offering a new
vision, a new culture, or a new direction.
Then, competition in the marketplace will
make the existing organization change its
tune or it will lose market share and
perhaps even go out of business. (Unless
bailed out by congress or the president.)
The same is true in the political world.
Changing the Republican Party or the
Democratic Party from within has got to be
an overwhelming task. So overwhelming that
the only change that has occurred there is
to make them less flexible than ever before.
Both the Republicans and Democrats are losing
voters by the hundreds of thousands. Does
that give them pause? Do they think they
need to change? No: they are too
bureaucratic and too entrenched to change
from within. In case you haven’t noticed,
Libertarian Party registrations have been
growing.
|
Only outside competition |
Only outside competition, from — you guessed it —
a third party, will compel them to change.
When they lose an election, then and only
then, do they reflect on what went wrong,
and how they could be successful the next
time.
For more than 20 years, I have been addressing
high school seniors in their civics class. I
often ask them if they’ve heard of the Free
Soil Party? Most have not.
That alternative party’s slogan was, “Free Soil,
Free Speech, Free Labor, and Free Men.”
This party was a huge influence on two key
issues of the day with their anti-slavery
and pro-homesteading. They elected only 14
members to the U.S. house and only two U.S.
senators. Yet their two key issues were
adopted in 1854 — by the newly formed
Republican Party. Everyone knows about the
slavery issue, but few know that the Free
Soil Party was instrumental in the eventual
passage of the Homestead Act. So, everyone
west of the Mississippi now lives in the
United States, thanks to a political party
that most people have never even heard of.
That’s leverage!
Large
organizations, political or not, have no
incentive to change, unless outside forces
come into play.
The
Libertarian Party is that force.
If
there is to be “Less Government, More
Freedom,” it won’t come from the R’s and
D’s.
If
economic prosperity is to return, it won’t
come from the R’s and D’s.
If
the United States is to be a bastion of
peace and freedom for the world, it won’t
come from the R’s and D’s.
If
our government is going to respect our
individual rights to work as we please,
eat what we please, and travel where we
please, it won’t come from the R’s and
D’s.
Only
the Libertarian Party can and does provide
the leverage to move the R’s and D’s
towards freedom.

In
December, we celebrated 45 years since
our founding. Let us remember not only
our principles that guide us, but also
let us remember that only alternative
parties bring about real change in
politics. •

Plumas County LP goes old school, with coverage in
local paper
This
|
Everyone knows the newspaper industry ain’t
what it used to be, but many folks still swear
by their ritual of the morning paper with their
coffee.
Shamelessly exploiting this fact, Gary
Bryant, chair of the Plumas County LP,
makes sure to submit event announcements and
letters to the editor, to promote the LP.
During election season, he promoted our state
assembly candidate, Donn Coenen, simply
by submitting in advance a notice that Coenen
would be appearing at the recurring county
meeting, along with a photograph of Coenen.
While the usual advice for letters to the
editor is to keep them to one concise point —
especially with big-city newspapers — a breezy,
more varied letter that Bryant submitted last
fall was published with virtually no edits,
managing to serve several purposes. He
managed to promote LP candidates, the couny LP’s
outreach to the community, the Nolan chart (the
World’s Smallest Political Quiz), and the first
amendment, as well as roundly refuting the
wasted vote argument. When the letter appeared
in print, its headline was, “Vote your
conscience.”
An excerpt of Bryant’s letter appears, below. •

Tremendous resources are available to
activists, candidates, and campaign volunteers
at the LP of California, as an affiliate of
the Libertarian National Committee. Many of
the tools are easily accessible at the web
site LPAction.org, managed by Andy
Burns, the LNC’s state affiliate development
specialist.
In this issue, we feature LNC
Executive Director Wes Benedict’s guide to raising
funds, arguably the fuel that powers the
engine of the LP as the political wing of
the liberty movement.
A Beginner’s
Guide to Fundraising
-
- Most
important is to get something done. Keep
it simple. Don’t worry about being
perfect.

- Try to
raise funds for a specific project, but
“just please donate” also works.

state regulations, such as the
contribution limit, and what information
you may have to report (name, address,
date, amount, occupation, employer).
- Know your

workload of processing contributions.

Five ways to
raise funds
1. E-mail and web site
-
- As a state
or local party, send e-mail 4 to 12
times per year, focused specifically on
fundraising (not just part of a
newsletter).
- As a state
-
- For
candidates, send e-mail as often as you
can, but especially when candidate
announces, when you have news that will
inspire donations, and as often as
possible during the last two months
before election day (when people donate
the most).
- For

- Accept
credit cards by PayPal, Piryx,
Click&Pledge or any service. Don’t
stress over the fees.
- Accept
- Post a donation form that people can print
out and mail or fax in.
2. Direct-mail fundraising
letters
-
- For
affiliates, send 2 to 6 fundraising
letters per year specifically for
fundraising (not just part of a
newsletter).
- For

- For
candidates, as often as you can afford
and as will yield a net profit.
- For

reply form and self-addressed return
envelope.
- Include a

done. Print it at home and use First
Class stamps until you’re an expert.
- Keep it simple. Get it
- Special tip: Mail to
people who have donated to the
national or state party within the
last 12 months.Otherwise you will
probably lose money on the mailing.
3. Events
-
- Events are
an expensive, labor-intensive way to
fundraise. For affiliates, don’t
organize an event just for fundraising.
But if you’re having an event anyway, go
ahead and raise funds at the event.
- Events are
-
- For
candidates, events are more likely to
yield results if well organized, well
promoted, and well executed.
- For
-
- When a
candidate is a featured speaker at
another organization’s event where the
leadership strongly supports the
candidate’s campaign, fundraising may be
possible. Ask leaders if they will make
an appeal to their members to donate. It
may also be appropriate for the
candidate to ask for donations and
volunteers during his/her presentation.
- When a
-
- Have a
donation form, pen, and envelope for
every person there.
- Have a
- At
some point, formally ask the entire
group to fill out the form and donate.
4. On the phone
-
- Call people
and ask them to donate, preferably by
credit card over the phone.
- Call people
- It’s okay if your sales pitch is very short.
5. One-on-one meetings in
person
-
- This is how
you raise large donations from your best
prospects.
- This is how
-
- Getting
someone to meet with you is the hardest
part. If you get a meeting, it might
last 30 minutes, and about 15 minutes
into it, you’ve already explained what
you’re raising funds for, and you have
asked for a donation.
- Getting
- How many
thousands should you ask for? Depends on
your project and the donor’s ability.
Miscellaneous
tips
- Copy what other organizations or state or
county Libertarian Party affiliates are
doing, who are successfully raising money.
Before acting on someone’s advice, find out
how much they are actually raising per year. - Monthly-pledge programs are a great way to
bring in a predictable flow of funds. Many
on-line services will provide monthly-pledge
credit-card processing. - E-mails and letters should be from one
person to one other person, e.g.,
“Dear John, I would like you to help me by
donating to the Libertarian Party.” Notes
from the chair are probably best. (Don’t
stress out about mail-merging, if that’s
difficult. It’s OK to say “Dear
Libertarian.”) - You can find a fundraising package
template in your word processor, including a
letter, response form, carrier envelope, and
return envelope. Use our sample letters to
quickly put together a fundraising package:
LPAction.org/sample-letter. - Bruce Eberle, chairman of the direct-mail fundraising firm Eberle Associates, says that one of the most common flaws in direct mail is overuse of graphics. I say, put a logo on the envelope and on page 1 of the letter, if it’s convenient for you. Otherwise, no graphics at all!
- You’re not a beggar—you’re a hero! Jerold Panas, author of Asking: A 59-Minute Guide to Everything Board Members, Volunteers, and Staff Must Know to Secure a Gift, writes: “Congratulations. You’re among the greatest and the most privileged. You’re about to undertake what George Bernard Shaw called, ‘The joy of being used for a purpose recognized by all as a mighty one.’ … Your task is vital because without your help your organization couldn’t exist.” People like to donate. They know you’re not perfect. They appreciate your effort. Give them the joy of helping you! (I highly recommend that book for one-one-one in-person fundraising.)
- Be honest and careful with predictions. One of the reasons I’ve raised money successfully, year after year, is that I’m optimistic, yet honest and realistic. I’m in this for the long haul, and I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep. The LP has been around for 45 years. Our best donors have been around for many years; they are sophisticated, and they know what’s what.
- Fundraising letters are newsletters, too! I learned from Richard Viguerie, a direct-mail guru, that fundraising letters aren’t just for raising money. They are also newsletters, advertising, and much more. Even if a recipient doesn’t donate, and even if your letter just breaks even, that letter still benefits the party in many ways.
- Premiums such as T-shirts, books, and coffee mugs help boost revenue, but don’t make them your primary focus for raising funds. Shipping costs and unsold items cut into profits. Also, consider the labor to manage the materials, and space to store them.•

Libertarian Youth Caucus teams with LP for outreach to JSA
students in S.F. Bay area
|
LP activists from at least three counties collaborated again at the semiannual Junior State of America convention in Santa Clara on April 22.
The mission of the Junior State of America and the Junior Statesmen Foundation (JSA) is to strengthen American democracy by educating and preparing high school students for life-long involvement and responsible leadership in a democratic society.
Twice a year, Monterey County LP chair Lawrence Samuels spearheads a trek to Santa Clara, where they are joined by activists from other LP affiliates in the bay area, to meet JSA members — high school students learning and practicing every aspect of political process. At the political fair segment of the convention, they can meet representatives from several political parties and learn what distinguishes the LP from the dominant and alternative parties. They come away with party literature, books, and buttons emblazoned with avant-garde liberty messages.
|
“We have been doing the
political fair for at least 15 years,” said
Samuels, “and it’s gratifying to continually
see new volunteers turn out for the even.
One of our new volunteers this year was
Anirban ‘Ani’ Das, a member of the Santa
Clara LP, who is originally from India and has a Ph.D. in
physics. He seemed overjoyed to be
there talking with students about
libertarianism.”
Joe Dehn, chair of LP of
Santa Clara County, was also pleased with
the effort. “I thought the LP booth at the
political fair went pretty well. The
LP’s presence was enhanced this time by the
participation of two local organizers for
the Libertarian Youth Caucus (LYC), who had a chance to
explain the LP to people from their own age
group.”
|
The LYC team was
Olivia Clark and Spencer Lindquist. They had procured a
table adjacent to that of the LP, creating a
new synergy.
Former Mountain View City Councilman John Inks, a rare, termed-out Libertarian elected official, had some newfound free time so he volunteered at the event. Inks remarked that “it was inspiring to see the local Libertarian Youth Caucus high school students with their own table at the JSA convention.”
Dehn expressed his gratitude to the volunteers: “Thanks to Lawrence Samuels for organizing our attendance, the members from several Bay Area counties who volunteered to help, and the LYC organizers for their ongoing efforts to bring the LP’s message to young people in our area!”
After packing up the booth, about eight of the volunteers continued the discussion over dinner at Pizza California in San Jose, owned by a libertarian.

San Francisco LP sponsors panel discussion on
sanctuary cities
 |
by Aubrey Freedman
The LP of San Francisco is planning its
annual political panel discussion (originally
conceived and run for several years as an
income-tax-day symposium).
This event is always open to the public, and
this year the topic will be the controversial
choice of some cities to flout federal
immigration policies and declare themselves
“sanctuary cities.”
While this discussion is not styled as a debate, there will be lively speakers on both the pro and con sides of this timely issue. It’s sure to be a provocative event, and will provide activists the opportunity for outreach to those in the community who otherwise wouldn’t attend a Libertarian Party event.
Request to be added to the notification list by e-mailing LPSF chair Aubrey Freedman at Chair@LPSF.org.
