What state party? Back in July '96, I tried to volunteer for the Dole campaign. I called Republican Clubs in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, and the L.A. County Republican Central Committee. Although I called during business hours, I only got answering machines, and no one returned my calls.
I finally found a human being who answered the phone at the Orange Country Republican Central Committee. He had no idea where to send me, or who was in charge of Dole's California campaign. He could only give me Dole's 800 number in Washington.
I called that 800 number, left a message offering to volunteer, and never heard back. I did get a bunch of junk mail, so I guess I was put on their fundraising mailing list.
The Libertarian Party is better organized in CA than the GOP, and certainly better in L.A. Sometimes the GOP doesn't even bother to run candidates in L.A.'s westside.
