Thomas I understand where you are coming from, but
what do you think you can accomplish.We barely get
things done in the L.P.Down here in Ga I get tired of
our state party and their inability to get things
done.I have come to the conclusion that I will only
work on campaigns ,I will not take a position in our
state party.When you think of the other two parties
you think of their candidates not their national
platforms.When I show up at the door of a potential
voter I AM the libertarian party . To them the
platform means nothing.I have run twice for office I
am Ayn Rand type Libertarian maybe even an
anarchists.I received 7 % of the vote and I outspent
the republican.I did receive a hard time about our
parties stance on drugs and prostitution even though
the issues did not apply to my race.I do not care what
the LP platforms are.And it will not change my views
or my fight for true libertarian laws.
Thanks for the fight for liberty and freedom
