I found nothing in [the LPF advertisement] that I could not

How many times have you heard of political groups doing things
outside of their charter (against the wishes of the paying
membership)...
In that case, I suspect that there would be plenty of folks (like
myself, and others much closer to LPF Central) who would raise quite a
fuss, vocally and publicly, and do as much to trash their credibility
as we're doing now to try and build it. I'm not noted for reluctance
to state my views.
If the membership of a garden-variety PAC were dissatisfied with the
direction its administration were heading, it would have a hard time
contacting all the members, mainly because the administration would
have possession of the membership mailing list. In this case, the
interested community is interconnected in such a way that the leaders
couldn't possibly stop word from getting out.
