Subject: An open question about political fundraising

Aloha, members of the LNC!

Our financial situation is catastrophic, and our prognosis is not good, so I come to you tonight with some general open questions to our board and our readers about political fundraising:

1. What real value do we actually offer to prospective medium and high-capacity donors; in other words: what is our best product to legitimately "sell" as a worthwhile "deliverable"?

2. What are the two biggest obstacles blocking successful fundraising under the LP brand today, in your opinion?

3. What are your top 3 ideas for raising our bottom line(s) and improving our fundraising ability as an institution? 

If you are reading this, even if you are not a member of the LNC, I would appreciate your feedback.
