How you can help the Libertarian Party now!

(Please send us your hard-earned cash)
Because nobody ever said that Freedom was cheap!

Why donate?
The state party always needs to raise additional funds for special projects. These include:

  • Petitioning for state-wide ballot access. We always have to hire paid petitioners to augment the signatures that our volunteers collect.
  • Special advertising projects.
  • Special outreach projects.
  • Our state party Convention, in those years when we put on a major event.
To donate by mail instead of online, please send it to "Libertarian Party of Connecticut" PO Box 4069 Yalesville, Connecticut 06492.

Why do we use PayPal?
According to PayPal's (About page), they have over 153 million members, are the world's largest Internet-based payment network, and have more Internet traffic in the financial services category than Citibank, Wells Fargo and Bank of America combined. PayPal allows us a secure, simple, efficient way to accept payments from your credit card or checking account with minimal fees. Aside from being a complicated financial process, clearing our own credit cards is very expensive. Both the bank and the clearing house charge a fee for every transaction. Fees for "cardholder not present" transactions are even higher because of the greater possibility for fraud. PayPal charges us 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction, with no monthly and no setup fees. This is significantly less expensive than clearing credit cards ourselves.

One drawback, especially to privacy-loving libertarians, is that to donate to us via PayPal you must create an account with them and register a credit card or checking account. The process is simple, secure (via SSL) and completely free. There is never a service charge to you to donate or be a PayPal member! The Libertarian Party of Connecticut feels that this is the best option we have to accept credit cards and electronic payments. It does require you to have an email address and access to a computer with an Internet browser. (Personal note from the Membership Director: I've used PayPal numerous times with no problems. One of EBay's standard payment methods is via PayPal.) If you're not currently a PayPal member, you can sign up during the donation process.

Please help
Make a commitment today! Remember, the Libertarian Party is the only political party that will not compromise on its commitment to the freedoms upon which this country was founded.  Your contribution to the Libertarian Party will be important and meaningful toward the advancement of those freedoms.

Thank you for your support.
