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.<br />
<br />
According to a 2009 article on <a href='http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2009/12/libertarian-party-watergate-office-worth-the-price/' target='ipr'>IPR</a> "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."<br />
