Perhaps, if it was a machine that matured early on, and had unifying goals, it might have sustained its large grassroots base?

And even worse, the various ballot access but empty shells of the state Natural Law Parties were just waiting for taking over [with only minor tweeking] as of April First 2004. In California, I [Southern California], Philip Sawyer of Sacramento, and BAN's Richard Winger [San Francisco Bay Area] simultaniously came up with various reform groups taking over various NLP state organizations in the first half of 2004. This was actually done by three folks [the United Party] in Idaho in 3 weeks in 2006 per teleconferencing with Winger. In California, 'reformers' Jeff Rainforth, Valli Sharpe Geisler, and John Blare just would not here of it. The dysfunctional Reform Party of California is still not ballot access and [especially if Unity08 is serious about the West Coast in 2008] probably never will be again!

Wouldn't that eliminate their debt? The Reform Party should just disband and re-form itself (no pun intended) under a different name. Wouldn’t that eliminate their debt?
