[badnarik2008] No National Convention in 2008!

The Libertarian Party should not have a National Convention in 2008!

Now that I have your attention, let me assure everybody who is reading this

message that I am not a neocon saboteur hellbent on destroying the Libertarian Party.

I recommend that we hold our National Convention to nominate a presidential candidate

for 2008 in 2007.

This was our practice from 1976 until 1996. The arguments for the change seemed plausible at the

time, including more publicity in an election year. Since then it has been proven conclusively

that the establishment media is our enemy and will not give us fair coverage.

The most blatant proof of the media bias is the fact that if two presidential candidates had

been arrested in Russia, Iraq or Iran it would have been front page news and covered by all

the networks. Yet when Michael Badnarik and Green Party candidate David Cobb became the

first presidential candidates in American history to be arrested while campaigning, not to mention

that they were handcuffed and jailed for attempting to commit free speech, even Libertarians

without access to the internet did not know about this atrocity for weeks.

Nominating our candidates a year before the convention would give them more time to campaign

with unified party support. It would make petitioning easier in many states with more time and

less expense for paid petitioners where necessary since there is less competition in odd-numbered years.

Now is the time to promote this return to our original practice through all available media, including LP News.

For life and liberty,
