These are excerpts from my book Finding Liberty (http://3mpub.com for the ebook). Readers are welcome to circulate either the excerpts or copies of the complete ebook as a free book. Along the same lines, in Fall 1996 Browne had committed for a major speaking tour of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Libertarians invested major efforts in preparing for the tour, which would have…

Regional Representative Andrew Chadderdon and LNC Chair Steven Nekhaila, writing on the LNC-Public list, discussed what Chadderdon decibed as urgent concerns with finances and strategy. Chadderdon wrote: Mr Chair, You previously announced proudly “Mr. Malagon is a crucial part of my vision as Chair and the work needed to see this vision through. I would like to have him on…

Continuing from my book Funding Liberty: A New Anomaly Recall that in the first half of 1996, there had been an oddity in the Browne campaign’s mailing expenses. For February-July, there were almost no payments for list rental. Browne had done pre-convention mailings, but his FEC reports gave no hint of payments for list rentals. As we now know, Browne’s…
We quote her letter, which appeared on LNC-Public: Hello All, As many of you know, after Christmas I advised the former Chair that I intended to resign. She asked me to stay until Ross Ulbricht was free. I agreed to do so and on the day President Trump granted Ross a full pardon, Jake Porter dropped some news that led…
As posted on Facebook: Brittany Kosin for LNC at Large This morning, I submitted a formal complaint to the Libertarian National Committee regarding LNC At-Large Representative Adrian Malagon after he publicly insulted life member @carynannharlos by calling her a “mentally ill woman who can’t seem to get her life,” then directed a veiled threat at me, stating: “If you tag…
1999 We now reach 1999, the last year before the Presidential Campaign would be launched. If the campaign were to accumulate a million dollars in cash, it had to do so now. In 1999, the Browne Campaign raised $561,030, which could have taken it half-way to its million dollar goal. It also spent $542,228, ending the year with $44,670 cash…
We are advised by Caryn Ann Harlos: “…Adrian is blocking Life members who have not been abusive and can have legitimate requests.” Her comments apparently went to the entire LNC. Harlos supplied a response said to be from Adrian Malagon, the response asserting “Attached are the lists of people I’ve blocked on both LP emails to help me cut back…
We can find out what the thermometer meant by comparing it with Browne’s FEC reports. The thermometer matches the amount of money that had been raised by the Browne campaign, not how much had been saved. Browne’s money went out the door almost as fast as it was raised. For most of the campaign, the meaning of the thermometer remained…
Chapter Ten $1,000,000 by 2000 In early 1997, Harry Browne had identified two specific requirements for launching a good campaign: National Party membership needed to increase from 27,000 to 200,000. By January 2000, the Browne campaign needed to have a million dollars cash on hand for a significant advertising campaign. At the end of 1999, Party membership was only 33,000.…
