First I wanted to get this message thread into the archive, so I break my own rules about long threads ...<[:(} (I did kill off Jim's long sig though.
I have been digging for the last few minutes on the LPCO site trying find the darn platform. Why bother having one if it is a secret? I want to take a look at the list and see where I fit if we are divvying up the pie. Jim just took my fave - privacy, but that doesn't mean I can't help him out with a few suggestions. I want my own copy of the existing platform. I feel like a dummy. paul -----Original Message----- From: Jim Vance [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 8:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tackling issues - 3 each??? Okay, So it's John's suggestion we actually try to tackle 3 (that's THREE) issues each. I sense the concept of createing a COMPLETE platform for the LPCO being the goal here. Well - what does everyone else thing? Hell - why not. I'm up for it. The three topics I think I'd like to take on are: - Gun Laws/Ownership Rights & Issues (for background reference: my father and I were gun dealers - I know this arena first hand and intimately since I had to do all the paperwork and deal with BATF and the occassional FBI & CBI agent). - Freedom of Privacy - which ties into the Homeland Security concept in my opinion. - Freedom of Speech / The Internet/ Information Distribution I'd take on Education - but it seems I'm just a bit too much of an incrementalist and moderate on that issue for most of the party even though I think my angle that was never revealed because of loss of the nomination would be tremendously marketable and easy to get behind for the general public even if it is a bit of a "lukewarm" libertarian stance on the topic to those in the party. So what is the consesus? Who wants to try for 3? Who wants to take on what??? Vance <snip> ----Original Message Follows---- From: "John A.

One will be the top priority, who knows how easy some of you will get off? Some issues may only take a few minutes and others a great deal of brain strain. Evrybody should be equally over loaded.
