I'm a registered Libertarian, doesn't that make me a Party member already?

You are a party member for some official purposes, but this does not qualify you to vote on party business, or to receive the newsletter. Central Committee membership is the next step in political involvement.

What is a Central Committee member?

A Central Committee member has voting rights in the state and their one declared county party organization. You become a Central Committee member by signing  "The Pledge" and either being elected to public office as a Libertarian, or by paying dues. Membership in your county party is automatic with membership in the Libertarian Party of California.

Members of the Libertarian National Committee ARE NOT automatically members of the state (or county). Membership for these two groups was split a couple of years ago.

What is "The Pledge"?

When you join the party as a Central Committee memeber we ask you to pledge that,

"I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE IN OR ADVOCATE THE INITIATION OF FORCE AS A MEANS OF ACHIEVING POLITICAL OR SOCIAL GOALS."

Our bylaws require that members sign the pledge. It helps to ensure that we remain a peaceful party dedicated to change via the ballot box. If you send an amount equal to the membership dues but don't sign the pledge, then you will receive the newsletter but you will not have voting rights on questions of party business.

Do I get a subscription to a newsletter?

If you choose to add an optional subscription to your membership, you will receive California Freedom.
First-time members get the newsletter free for the first year.

Join the Libertarian Party of California!
