Thank you for the feedback.

I believe the possibility for success for this plan is neither automatic or easy on the one hand, nor impossible on the other.

If a small handful of people can help me turn it into a presentation-quality plan within the next couple of weeks, I think we can raise enough money through an email to LibertarianLists – thousands of opt-in customers – to print it up in business plan binders for the LSLA/LNC in Charleston in about a month from now.

There, I think we can raise enough money to get started in earnest – but only if we have presentation-quality business plan binders to distribute by then.

After that, I think we can continue to mine our list for recurring and additional donors through progress reports, as well as raising additional money and volunteer help from candidates, issue coalition partners (and new supporters we mobilize on their behalf in the course of field organizing), and small businesses throughout the state that we sell on making the party the voice of small business in state politics.

If we succeed, I would like to take the model and “sell” it to other state parties all over the country.

But first things first: I need some help on creating the business plan/fundraising letter/presentation.

Re: biz plan, I recall the East Bay LP working on one a few years back. It may be worth asking to see whatever came out of it.

With an achieveable set of goals and a method of reaching those goals divided into bite size pieces, we can accomplish more than you might imagine. Paulie is on the right track and with support from all concerned we can make it happen.”

Yes, he’s on the right track, but are there enough people on the right track with him to make these goals a reality?

We have to give libertarians in other states, and people who are not yet LP members here in Alabama, a reason to donate.
