I just wonder if it like our list in GA where a lot of people talk but > none them have been on the street working toward liberty and freedom. > Doug Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.crazyforliberty.com Doug, I know that I am an exception to the rule but I have spent most of my life seriously working for freedom. I do not talk much but stay out of my way or get run over. This is from my profile: In December 1967, I started a campaign to deregulate transportation in Florida. Between 1967 and 1980 I was arrested numerous times for not having the proper permits from the state to operate taxicabs and buses. During that time I appeared in many places to speak on behalf of deregulation. I spent 6 months in the Marion County Jail for refusing to buy a taxicab permit. Many times I was on radio and TV and appeared in many newspapers. Over the years I have lobbied the legislature and cities for deregulation and for more voter freedom. Transportation deregulation became a fact in Florida on October 1, 1980. Voter freedom happened in November 1998. National transportation deregulation was based on what Florida did and the experience there after. I have been in the trenches fighting from the day I came home from the Army, physically, electorally and in many other ways. I have been with the LP since 1974. I have ran in 10 campaigns and have received 20 to 25% in 5 of them. The last was in 2004. In that race I received the highest number of votes for a Florida Libertarian in State house races in 2004. That was 19,124 votes for a 24.75 percent. However one does not have to be a bear knuckles street fighter nor a slick politician to do good in the quest for freedom. Many here (not all) deserve recognition for the work they do for freedom. Nothing that I have ever done would be meaningful if it were not for them and I would like to think that nothing that any of them do would mean anything if it were not for people like me. FREEDOM IS THE GOAL - RESPONSIBILITY IS THE PRICE- TOLERANCE IS THE HALLMARK Thank You, John Wayne Smith, CEO 1000Planets, Inc. Building a Road to the Stars.
