In this report:

* The GOP has infiltrated and subverted our party in the past and is currently attacking our candidates and undermining our ballot status. The GOP clearly feels threatened by the Libertarian Party!
* The media is covering these attacks in a big way - SEE BELOW
* We have taken steps to combat these GOP actions - SEE BELOW
* We're also making progress that the GOP (and the Democrats too) won't like - SEE BELOW

We must be doing something right!

If the GOP didn't see us as a threat, they would not have infiltrated us in the recent past, and they would not be attacking our candidates and ballot status now. Remember...

There are voice recordings of RFK, Jr. trying to entice two Iowa LP House candidates out of the race by implying there might be jobs in DC for them. Other GOP operatives have threatened Iowa candidates with lawsuits and financial ruin. Now...

Similar things are happening in New Jersey and Florida, as I reported yesterday, and we have taken action to defend our candidates. But we're not fighting this battle in the dark!

The media is covering these GOP attacks in a big way!

* CNN played the audio recording of RFK, Jr's attempt to bribe LP candidates out of House races in Iowa [ [link removed] ]
* So did the Washington Post! [ [link removed] ]

The media coverage list is long...

* The Des Moines Register [ [link removed] ]
* The Gazette [ [link removed] ]
* Radio Iowa [ [link removed] ]
* KGAN [ [link removed] ]
* Iowa Capitol Dispatch [ [link removed] ]
* Little Village Magazine [ [link removed] ]
* MSN [ [link removed] ]
* Sioux City Journal [ [link removed] ]
* The Daily Beast [ [link removed] ]

...and many others! So ask yourself this...

Why is the LP so threatening to the GOP?

There are three reasons...

1. We have ballot status all over the country.
2. We run hundreds of candidates in many races, including swing districts.
3. We promote issues that many voters care about, but that the older parties violate.

We draw votes from one party or the other, depending on the district, so both parties have reasons to want us out of races, or off the ballot entirely. But we can easily frustrate them by...

Finishing more ballot drives!

And that's exactly what we're doing!

* We've collected 11,000 in Maryland, but we need 5,000 more to finish, at a cost of $35,000.
* We've also collected 2,500 more signatures in Massachusetts, and we need 5,000 more there by July 28, at a cost of another $35,000.

We need your financial support to finish these drives, but that's not all...

The more ballot drives we complete, and the more candidates we run, the more frustrated and desperate the Ds and Rs will become. Their attempts to infiltrate and intimidate will only increase, but there is a treatment for this problem...

More members!

There is strength in numbers. Having more dues-paying members helps fend off infiltration and subversion. Having more donors helps fund lawsuits to counter intimidation efforts.

Libertarians must not run away when the old parties infiltrate or attack. They must join the LP [ [link removed] ] , or renew their dues [ [link removed] ] , or make extra contributions [ [link removed] ] , or start a monthly pledge [ [link removed] ] . You can do these things now!

If you're not yet a member...

Please become a dues-paying member [ [link removed] ] . We need your help to promote the libertarian philosophy of non-aggression and human respect.

If you're a former member...

...and you left during the years when the GOP was infiltrating and subverting the LP, please renew your membership today [ [link removed] ] . We both deserve and need your renewed support.

We deserve it because we have beaten back the GOP infiltration!

* We disaffiliated the so-called Libertarian Party of New Hampshire.
* We have revived LP News
* We have renewed our commitment to 50-states-plus-DC ballot status.
* We are recommitted to supporting LP candidates instead of making backroom deals with GOP operatives, which was the focus during the years of infiltration and subversion.
* We are about to launch a major lawsuit to finally hold one of the ringleaders accountable.

Please...

* Join the LP [ [link removed] ]
* Renew your dues [ [link removed] ] if you let them lapse
* Make an extra contribution [ [link removed] ] if your dues are current (this will extend your expiration date)
* Start a monthly pledge [ [link removed] ] to ensure steady, reliable funding (this will keep your dues current as long as you maintain the pledge)
* Or, if you can, make the maximum legal contribution of $44,300. [ [link removed] ]

Anything you do will support the cause and irritate establishment party hacks! Do it!
