Announcing the formation of the Rent is Too Damn High Caucus of the Libertarian Party

The idea for the Rent is Too Damn High Caucus started during a discussion on IPR. The purpose of the caucus is "to try getting the LP HQ moved out of the Watergate & into a cheaper office." The caucus may also look into other ways the LP can save money and/or more efficiently use member dues & donations.

According to a 2009 article on IPR "the LNC pays $10,928.89 a month ($131,146.68/year) for office space. To put this into some perspective, a sustaining member pays $25.00 annually for their membership; it takes over 437 sustaining members a month to pay the rent on our Washington, D.C office. If you are a sustaining member, it took you and 5,245 others to pay the rent on our national office in 2009."

If you wish to join the discussion group for the caucus, you my do so at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rentis2damnhigh-lp.

In Peace, Freedom, Love & Liberty,
