The level of disagreement over immigration enforcement continues to escalate. Readers of a certain age will recall photographic coverage of the war in Vietnam, and a few images the focused people’s minds. We perhaps now, for better or worse, have a modern equivalent.

In early 1998, the Libertarian Association of Massachusetts held its annual convention. There was a major fundraiser, billed as raising money for our candidates across Massachusetts.

You can read it at https://groups.google.com/g/lnc-public/c/wk6SglmlS6I The second post in the thread is correct. The first post in the thread has the date wrong. The thread is long. The Alternate from Hawaii still thinks he can submit motions, and insists on arguing about it.
