Good commentary, but you need to work on professional production (especially if the is a video from LP HQ). We need to look less like amateurs.

I'm tired of being embarassed.

LP since 88.

We didn't shoot it. This was made by the theater and given to us in this format. LP HQ Productions are shot in HD.

Libertarianism is the way!

I'm new to Libertarianism and I'm so happy about this movement. What convinced me to change? One word: bailout.

[KokaKolaKan]

We have been told, taught, and molded to know only what we need to know, eat fat rich cheeseburgers, and to watch TV and commercials as a means of staying "well informed."

How can anyone stay informed in a society motivated by making money? This is what we live in today and libertarianism is the next form of the corporatist government. Like it or not, we want to make money, we want energy, we want the most out of our information and the only way to have more is for someone to have less.

'Libertarian' was first used, in a political context, by a French anarcho-communist. Why is it associated with the right?

Austin I think it would help to turn this gentlemen on to Tom Woods book Meltdown.BTW you did a great job representing the party.Thank you for your hard work.

Real libertarians are far too radical to be what they are sold as by this party. In fact traditional libertarians reject parties and often politics in general.

[Ril74]

Too bad the Libertarian Party has no idea what the Libertarian movement has stood for for its entire history until the formation of their party. Or if they do they essentially suppress it and expropriate its rhetoric to make them a business party. Initially on hearing the language it's easy for people to wonder how such honest concepts could gain entrance into US politics, until you realize that like the democrats and republicans they are a business party.

The Libertarian Party is the best solution to the Democratic and Republican national problem, so support it so America can grow!!!
