Darker Shade of Liberty
by Rich Tomasso 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

This was the title of a session I attended at the recent Liberty Forum. The topic was mostly about why typical liberty outreach does not appeal to minorities. And a few ideas to improve our efforts. The highlights of what's not working: The 1776 fetish. Historic revisionism of a libertarian golden age. Awkward framing of issues. Insensitivity to racism and playing on old paradigms. Opportunities: Left Statists courting minorities and nothing from the Right. Growing frustration with Progressives, feeling taken for granted, but ignored by Conservatives. Memes to counter political myths. The Drug War is clearly racist. ~Rich Region 8 Rep

FW: Another Elected Partisan Libertarian
by Scott L. 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

I don't usually send these to the LNC e-mail list. However, I am sending this correction to the Libertarian Party's Elected Official List to the entire LNC so that you know that my interest in increasing our number of Elected Officials means that I am constantly on the lookout for corrections or additions to our Elected Officials List. Scott Lieberman _____ From: Scott L. [mailto:scott73@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2015 11:18 AM To: 'bob.johnston(a)lp.org' Subject: Another Elected Partisan Libertarian "http://www.lp.org/candidates/elected-officials Jerald <http://www.lp.org/candidates/elected-official/jerald-robertson> Robertson Elmwood Place Village Council, Ohio Election Date: November 1, 2011 Term: 4 years Non-Partisan Office OHIO" As proof that his election was partisan, you can see that another candidate for that office lists himself as a Republican: http://democracy.com/4forepmichael/default.aspx And Richard Winger says: http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2015/03/ap-libertarians-face-quagm ire-in-seeking-ballot-access-in-ohio/#comments Richard Winger <https://www.facebook.com/richard.winger.1> <http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2015/03/ap-libertarians-face-quag mire-in-seeking-ballot-access-in-ohio/#comment-1130649> March 11, 2015 at 12:28 pm Elmwood Village has partisan elections for its own officers. I just verified that with the Hamilton County Board of Elections." So, I suggest that you change his designation from Non-Partisan to Partisan, and change the totals at the top of the elected officials page to reflect that. Scott Lieberman

by Wes Benedict 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Andy Burns want to call each LNC member about the Outright Libertarians Facebook ad posted by the Facebook volunteer team. Please send him your phone number. He's copied on this email. Andy Burns is the executive director of the LP Minnesota. I don't have a list of all of your phone numbers. If you all want me to create a list to hand out in situations like this, perhaps you could discuss that at our next LNC meeting and we could create a list to hand out to the public. Thanks, -- Wes Benedict, Executive Director Libertarian National Committee, Inc. *New address: 1444 Duke St., Alexandria, VA 22314* (202) 333-0008 ext. 232, wes.benedict(a)lp.org facebook.com/libertarians @LPNational Join the Libertarian Party at: http://lp.org/membership

Short and easy strategic planning
by Scott L. 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

This article is only about 300 words long. https://leadershipfreak.wordpress.com/2015/02/07/12-questions-that-move-drea ms-to-reality/ We probably don't have the time to discuss the answers to these questions at our Phoenix Session, but we do need to answer these questions sooner rather than later. I propose that our June or July LNC Session devote a full day to discussing the answers to these questions. Scott Lieberman

You did a good job on the interview. I do not know why you did not receive the invitation for the convention. Please allow this email to serve as an official invitation as well as the conversation that we just had. As you can see by the theme of the Florida Convention we are really trying to inform the Libertarians in Florida on how we can continue to grow as a party in different aspects. Considering the skill you showed at last year’s convention in the fundraising area there was not anyone that we thought would be better to help Libertarians in Florida than you. Danielle will be contacting Carla directly tomorrow in regards to her inclusion at the LPF State Convention. If you have any questions call me at (407) 595-2197 In Liberty, Alex Snitker Vice Chairman Libertarian Party of Florida 1334 Tampa Road, Suite 2 Palm Harbor, Florida 34683 *From:*Wes Benedict [mailto:wes.benedict@lp.org] *Sent:* Wednesday, March 04, 2015 3:28 PM *To:* Adrian Wyllie; Treasurer *Cc:* Starchild; LNC Discussion List; LP Florida; Lucas Overby; Carla Howell; Robert Kraus; Bob Johnston *Subject:* Re: Wes Benedict promoting Florida candidates Hello Adrian Wyllie and others from Florida who were copied on a series of emails a year ago about my appearance on the Paul Molloy show. I took another shot at the Paul Molloy show Monday. My part starts at the 9 minute 30 second mark, and goes till about 25 minutes and 30 seconds. http://internetradiopros.com/freedomworks/?p=episode&name=2015-03-02_zfreed… I worked very hard to squeeze in a lot of recognition for LP Florida candidates and activists. I'm not sure I'll always be able to get away with squeezing in so much direct promotion, but anyway, I got away with it this time. I hope it helps. We touched on several controversial issues as well, such as ISIS, immigration, Cuba, Mexico, and marriage. Yikes! Separately, I see my name on your list of speakers for the LP Florida convention. http://www.lpf2015.com/ <http://www.lpf2015.com/> I don't think I have received an official invitation. If you would like me to attend, I'd be happy to. If not, that is fine as well. Please let me know once you make up your plans certain so I can make my plans.
