Liberal Party USA Convention sees significant affiliate growth

Liberal Party USA held their inaugural convention in Houston this weekend.  While this author had hoped to attend, circumstances prevented travel. As most readers here know, I am clearly in support of the argument for a classic liberal party.  So while this is intended to be as unbiased as possible, please excuse any on my part that may filter in.…

Opinion: Hogarth Condemns LNC Policy Manual Change

An opinion statement from Susan Hogarth, referring to a  recent change in the policy manual. Hogarth writes: This is such ridiculous Animal Farm level nonsense that it would be amusing if I didn’t care about the Libertarian Party. This is a Policy Manual change implemented by the current LNC. The Bylaws are not changeable by the sitting LNC, but the…

Rutherford Resigns from LNC

We have confirmed from Mark Rutherford that he has resigned from the LNC.

LNC Ran Up Credit Card Debt

Historically, the LNC has routinely paid its credit card debt on time.  That’s better than renting the money from the bank, which is what credit card debt is.  However, last Summer, that process came to an end, though at first it was not correctly reflected in the FEC filings.  We quote the letter from LNC Treasurer Bill Redpath to the…

Mises Documents Postponed

I had hoped to post these seriatim, but events have intervened.  There is no point to taking them down and reposting next week, but posting will resume next week.

Warfare Against Third Parties

The attention of readers is drawn to Matt Taibbi’s substack column https://www.racket.news/p/the-democrats-dirty-tricks-playbook and schemes used to disable various third party candidates.

LNC ExComm Recommends Budget

The Treasurer said that the numbers will permit a minimally functional National Committee next year. The budget calls for $900,000 in general income and $220,000 from the joint fundraising committee.  The $220,000 that is assumed to be received from the Kennedy Victory Fund agreement was particularly amusing. The ExComm currently has six members. Rutherford was not present. Ford was at…
