Libertarian Party De-Couples Membership and Dues

Meeting in Kansas City on August 6-7, the Libertarian Party’s national committee altered the definition of “membership” in the national party. National membership will no longer be linked to the payment of national dues. Dues had been $25 per year for decades, and earlier this year they had been raised to $50. The Libertarian Party, along with the various parties that hold themselves out as socialist, had been the only nationally-organized parties in the U.S. in which dues were required for membership.

  1. Sounds great. Now if only the socialist-leaning parties will do that too. Then they could really start gaining more membership.

  2. This is a great way of getting membership numbers up. Revenues may go down in the short run but the added names can be used for asking for donations.

    I think this is a good development.
