Calling All Libertarian Candidates

[Originally posted on LPNC Yahoo list. I post it here to hopefully inspire libertarians everywhere to seek public office]

Hey Folks,

At the last EC meeting in Concord, I was appointed Political Director of the LPNC. I look forward to the challenge this position provides. With the end of the ballot drive in sight, we, as a party, need to concentrate on the 2008 elections. We must field a strong slate of candidates to challenge the demopublican tyrants in our home counties, Raleigh and Washington D.C..

Tar Heel Libertarians have a score to settle with our state representatives. The first round of payback happens when we turn in enough verified signatures. This will once again show the petty tyrants our determination to provide the citizens of this state a real choice in electoral politics. The second round of payback begins when we nominate a well rounded slate of candidates at next year’s state convention. If we fail to accomplish this goal, we can not reap the rewards of the hard work we have dedicated to regaining ballot access!

I intend to lead by example. I have not completely made up my mind which office I will seek but I promise to run an energized campaign. I can not, in good faith, ask any of you to seek public office if I am not willing to do the same. As soon as I decide, I will let this group know.

Now that I have made a public pledge to represent this party next year, I am asking the rest of you to follow suit. I asked my peers on the EC to lead by example at the last meeting. Today, I am asking you, my fellow Libertarians, to run for office.

Please!….

I will do every thing in my power to help you represent this party to the best of our combined potential.

Okay folks…Mr. Munger and myself have committed to running campaigns next year.

Who’s next?

Thomas Hill
Political Director, LPNC
