Jonathan Todd Casey supplies us with an analysis from the Libertarian Party’s Classical Liberal Caucus. The graph shows the total amount of money raised in the first five months of each year for which there are FEC records, meaning this year and going back in time through three decades. The graph shows the inflation adjusted numbers. The first 5 months…

While some people thought that the Libertarian National Committee elected in 2022 advocated for transparency, their actions since then point in different direction. The national party membership report for each month historically appeared early in the next month. It is now June 17, and the report has not yet been released. There has been no public discussion this month of…
No, that’s not a typo. I said lost not won. Of course most people currently living in the US would call it a victory. The winners get to write the history books. However, if you were someone who lived on this continent before the relentless swarm of invaders headed inward from the eastern shore, you would say lost. The same…
A post from Stewart Flood forwarded by George Phillies You may or may not remember reading about the Hoovervilles. Ad-hoc camps in several cities, most notable outside of the District of Columbia, put together by former servicemen who came – peacefully – to demand their back pay from World War I that the government had deferred and held hostage.

Yes, my blood pressure went through the roof, but for me these days that means 114/68 and not some number others normally consider high. I thought about a quick and snappy response, but then thought better of it…
Opinion: Toward an Organizing Committee for a Classical Liberal Party Recent changes in the Libertarian Party have gravely damaged its image, organizational soundness, and fundamental platform. One readily finds people saying that the Republican Party could not have done a better job of wrecking the Libertarian Party than the Libertarian National Committee has done to itself. An alternative interpretation of…
We should invest in the things that work. We should not invest in things that fail unless they deliver secondary benefits. We should also invest in things that we have not tried, things that we will need to build a future of peace, freedom, and prosperity. Spending by the national committee on national activities: First, the core activities of the…
I am pleased to report that the LNC, having recently appropriated $12,000 for Michigan Trademark legal action, has made a further step. It appropriated $1500 for Arkansas ballot access. In other good news, the Montana law to impose Top-Two for one election to one office is apparently going down in flames, as there was a negative committee vote, 1-17. The…
