Chuck is right here. No, the RLC didn't "steal him" from the LP.
BTW, Ben's a great guy. He did come to the RLC National Convention with his lovely guy. This guy is hardcore with a capitol H. He knows Georgia politics inside and out. And he's not afraid to step on some toes, especially on tax and property rights issues. There was a time when the RLC and the LP were at each other's throats. I'm the very one who instigated much of this. Chuck Muth is also to blame, and a few others. But these days, with the "New" Libertarian Party, an LP that is serious about winning elections, RLCers are working side by side with the LP. Look at the Bob Smither Campaign. RLC libertarians are backing him 100%! One of his two biggest endorsements is Land Commissioner and State RLC Chairman Jerry Patterson. Look at Vermont. RLCers are behind the "Vermont LP 5" running for State House. RLC has even endorsed our own Listee Paul Ireland in his race for Congress in California. --- In [email protected], "Chuck Moulton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Chuck please watch out for the RLC they are the reason > > we lost Ben Brandon.They were more interested in > > getting him to join the Republican party over helping > > him fight for liberty. > > No they aren't. > > I've talked to Ben Brandon.
