Grand Rapids LNC MeetingOn Saturday evening, we held a cocktail fundraiser featuring inspiring remarks from Justin Amash and Larry Sharpe, who spoke passionately with members about the cause of Liberty. It was a fantastic event, and I’m grateful to everyone who attended.
For Michigan residents who couldn’t make it, you’ll have another opportunity to connect with me in person. I will be attending your state convention in Port Huron on July 19–20, and I look forward to seeing many of you there!

FundraisingMembership has been on a continuous decline the past few years. For the long term, Project Archimedes will reverse this. In the short term, we need to increase member retention and regain members we have lost. We need to utilize traditional membership tools in the meantime to get this done. I have been personally calling members of all types across the party and asking all members to support us. If you have allowed your LP National membership to lapse, I ask you to rejoin as a monthly member.
