Nobody in leadership is paid a dime. Some expenses are reimbursed, but several of the officers don't even submit expense vouchers.

The FSP looked into 501c3 status. To get that status, too much compromise and too many objectives would have to be modified - so it was dropped.

As it stands now, there is somewhere around $30k total money in the FSP. Not a whole lot, and certainly not enough for any fulltime or even part time CEO's salary. Nobody's getting rich off the FSP.

VP Swearingen, board members Adam Rick, and my wife Jean Alexander have all put in hundreds and hundreds of unpaid hours. My wife has never submitted an expense report that I know of.

The whole basis of your sorely misinformed post - that the FSP leadership is composed of people seeking and getting paychecks- is completely discredited.

Yes, there is a modification to the goals of the FSP. The idea of the FSP is too good to discard. Is it somehow immoral to refocus on the goal - liberty in our lifetime?

The FSP is not allowed to make mistakes? Like any organization, finetuning and modification is necessary to make progress.

These modifications do not constitute an elimination of the end goal. They are merely acknowledgement of reality. The FSP is trying to do something truly difficult: herd cats. If they opened too many cans of tuna - or too few - that is because they are not omnicient.
