Underlying Belief of LP Members
Having observed LP members over the years, I have concluded that LP members generally believed that Americans have libertarianism written into their DNA such that the average American is already a libertarian or can easily have the libertarianism deep inside them "awoken". Consequently, they believe conversion efforts are not necessary.

True to some extent.
I think most people do have a libertarian streak in them. They might just not know it, being so used to inflicting force on others via the ballot box. Some might have ballot box violence so ingrained as a legitimate way of living in society the libertarian streak is as good as gone.
They key, seems to me, is that most people value their own liberty. Granted, some might disagree on the definition of liberty, but most people want to live their life as they see fit. The trick is getting them to realize they can't have real freedom themselves unless they're willing to give that same freedom to others.
Admittedly, that's a tough row to hoe, maybe impossible, for some people.
