OK, I guess I misunderstood what you were saying and asked the wrong question. You are definitely right, but membership is something every third party struggles with, and the Reps and Dems make it so hard for third parties to make some noise, shall I say. How do we go about that? Should go mainstream within the Libertarian Party instead of joining the RLC? Should we promise one thing and do another when elected like the Dems and Reps? Or maybe solely rely on each individual Libertarian to go out and recruit as many as possible? The educate the misinformed people idea is great but it would take way too long if it were to suceed at all. The truth is, people are turned off by politics which really sucks, because it's the one thing everyone should be involved in. Here's an idea, let's have local Libertarians create pamphlets explaining Propositions, candidates, and what not in a fair way. Just an idea.
