How many different levels of membership do we want to define? Who has voting power? Do we have dues? If so, what amount?

Dues would be good to get funding going, DSA has an income based monthly dues program with suggested amounts that go from $5 and up.

Just off the top of my head, I'd recommend: General Membership: Any eligible, registered voter who identifies as progressive and agrees with the Principles and Platform of the Party, whether or not they are registered with their respective states as a Progressive Party voter. May participate in Party meetings but may not vote on official measures. Card-carrying (Voting) Membership: Any General Member who has donated at least <membership dues TBD> to the Party during the same fiscal year. Lifetime Membership: A Card-carrying member who has made a one-time donation to the party at least <amount TBD>. This membership does not expire & sustains for life unless the Member declares their membership cancelled, or is removed by Judicial Committee action for a cause, such as corruption or bribery. Committee Membership: Lifetime or Card-carrying Membership granted to the current elected Progressive National Committee (and subcommittees), Delegates to the Progressive National Conference, and any elected public office-holders. This reverts to Lifetime membership upon conclusion of their terms of office. Emeritus Membership: Honorary (dues-free voting) Membership granted to selected individuals in recognition of their service to the Party |
