Libertarian Party of Colorado's Contributing Membership

The Libertarian National Committee voted to end the dues requirement for National Party membership last year, which will help the state parties in several ways. Did you ever hear the Chinese proverb, "He who cuts his own wood warms himself twice?" This principle will work in a similar way for us here in Colorado, as we roll out the contributing membership program.

Under the Unified Membership Program (UMP), the old rules were, when a party member in Colorado sent in their $25 membership fee to National, the LPCO would get $1 per month. As you paid higher levels with National, the state party would receive higher sums up to $3 per member, in a lump sum check for the total membership.

Due to ongoing financial crisis the LNC originally planned increasing dues to $50 by the end of the year. This was the original plan set in motion. But after much debate, instead dues were changed to zero and the payments to states were terminated!

So under the new rules, the LPCO will receive ALL the money for membership contributions when made to the state party. When you fill out our form and sign the non-aggression principle we forward your information to national (but keep the money, if any) and you are automatically a member of the State and National LP (as long as you are also a registered voter in Colorado as a Libertarian).

We are at this juncture desperately short on funds, and so would hope you'd consider more than the minimum, and preferably choose our 1776 Club as your way to support the Libertarian Party of Colorado.

As a contributing member you will receive benefits depending on your level. Please open your wallets, see what you can spare, take a look at the new membership levels and contribute to Libertarian Party of Colorado, the Defenders of Liberty!
