Hi all, In my role as region 0 rep, I submit the following, posted on Alicia Dearn's campaign page, at the request of an sc delegate. A question about the validity of this kind of outside influence was raised.: Now that the vote is completed, I wish to explain myself. I learned that the poll companies (and perhaps CPD) stated that they wouldn't include libertarians without Weld. They've agreed to include us if he's the pick. No Weld, and we get shut out again. I learned this over the lunch recess while I was preparing for my speech. It was a really good one too. The GJ campaign didn't ask me to quit or tell me that. I got that message directly from someone outside the party. We can't fight for Liberty with our hands tied behind our backs. So I asked Weld to swear to me that he wouldn't screw us. And he did. He seemed sincere. I said real libertarians need a seat at the table and I got his, Gary's and Ron's word that we would not be shut out and that our principles would be protected. I did it so that we can have ballot access and make gains for all down line libertarians. It was force by non-libertarians but I took it so we can stop force and oppression going forward. It was awful. I'm not bullish on Weld and I was honest about that. But we need to advance for the sake of liberty and the sake of our country.
There are people who believe that the American people should be controlled. There are people who believe that the American people should have the power and right not to be controlled. There are an infinite number of levels of don't really give a damn between the two. The GOP, the Dems, the media, and for the most part, the polling organizations, are owned and operated by those in the "pro-control" group. The fact that they want Weld is no surprise. If I was knew that the GOP, the Dems, the media, or the polling organizations wanted me to do something, I would try very politely to say "no, thank you." It is tempting - but they are not on our side, and do not have our best interests at heart. Dr. Marc Allan Feldman At-large delegate Libertarian National Committee.
