2025 Comment: Don’t worry, it gets worse. Finally, keep your eye on the above list of names. It may be [decades] later, and a few of the people are less visible, but many of the same people are still active in the Party. … In the third quarter of 1995 Willis was not paid at all by the Browne campaign.…
The following is a transcript of a recent speech by Angela McArdle on how she negotiated about the Presidential Election with Donald Trump. The speech was scheduled to be given at the 2025 New Hampshire Liberty Forum in Concord, New Hampshire on Saturday, April 26 in the late afternoon. My thanks to Jordan Willow Evans and Dan Fishman for handling…
I pause to present two images from my book Libertarian Renaissance. They have been used elsewhere. The first is a plot of membership in various years around 2000. You will notice that there is a peak near the year 2000. That’s when the LNC voted to adopt Project Archimedes. Membership never climbed a great deal. Soon thereafter, membership began to…
As written in the early noughts: My sources with old issues of Mass Liberty, the Libertarian Association of Massachusetts newsletter, quote from ‘An Interview with Harry Browne’ published in the June, 1995 issue: “As far as money is concerned, I don’t know how much we’ll raise, but we are aiming at 50 million dollars… We have a lot of avenues…
Bill Redpath wrote ask for 20 minutes on the agenda for consideration of the following two motions: Whereas, the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire has regularly posted social media content that reasonable people would consider to have racist meanings, which, with other inflammatory posts, has cast the Libertarian Party in a bad light on the national stage; Whereas, the…

LP News is no longer published. News emails are uncommon. For some time, the LNC’s public email list disappeared. We have not done a complete survey, but…
Dasbach’s interpretation is astonishing. The Policy Manual provided a blanket ban on ‘support’ with absolutely no qualification as to whether the support consisted of material goods or intangible services, whether it was donated or paid for, or whether or not it was reciprocated by the campaign. The claim that ‘support’ ceases to be ‘support’ if the supporter calls himself a…
We now reach substantive content. We quote from the report: Members and donors vote with their wallets. Either those wallets are open or closed to support appeals from the organization. These wallet votes have spoken loudly for the past few years, and it has not been a ringing endorsement. Only a change in the board’s collective vision and behavior can…
Chapters are from my book Funding Liberty, available from Third Millennium 3mpub.com. (A few days ago, their money handler indicated that they are closing, so they are in the middle of switching to a new contractor. Momentarily, email me phillies@4liberty.com if you want a copy of the PDF of the entire volume.) Ahmad further noted that there was a…
