Geoerge Phillies Pissed about the LNC support of Ron Paul

This was sent out to the George Phillies Team of Volunteers.


I am profoundly sorry to report that our National
>> Committee has stabbed
>> every single Libertarian Presidential campaign in
>> the back. At the LNC
>> meeting this weekend, they passed two resolutions on
>> Presidential campaigns.
>>
>> FIRST:  Some of you may be aware of BallotBase, a
>> web-based gadget that
>> lets volunteers telephone likely voters to stir up
>> support.  BallotBase
>> was developed at great expense with Libertarian
>> party money.
>>
>> The LNC voted to let a Presidential candidate of
>> another party use
>> BallotBase, in New Hampshire.  Now, our New
>> Hampshire Libertarian Party
>> is struggling to get the public to notice our
>> candidate, and here is our
>> money being used to build public notice for an enemy
>> party candidate.
>>
>> SECOND, the LNC voted unanimously to invite a
>> Presidential candidate of
>> another party to compete for our own nomination.
>> You can read the
>> details on Steve Gordon's blog
>>
http://www.gordonunleashed.com Steve, who
>> is usually a clever fellow, concludes this is an
>> unambiguous endorsement
>> of that candidate.
>>
>> Our national committee cannot afford ballot access
>> efforts in Oklahoma,
>> West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.  They
>> now turn around and
>> make a huge gift in kind to another Party's
>> candidate.
>>
>> I don't see how we can hope to succeed as a party
>> when our Party
>> National Committee betrays its own candidates.
>>
>> Note that I am treating this, at the moment, as an
>> internal party
>> matter, to be handled by going after our National
>> Committee.  The name
>> of that other party candidate and his party do not
>> pass my keyboard.   We are here going strictly after the National
>> Committee that has
>> betrayed our party.
>>
>> I am not giving up.  I intend to redouble my efforts
>> to win the
>> nomination.  What you do is up to you, but you
>> should realize that your
>> Party National Committee is actively working against
>> us.
>>
>> Write the LNC and complain.  A list of LNC Member
>> email addresses follows.
>>
>> If you are giving the LNC money, stop.  Please
>> consider sending it
>> instead to my campaign.  Or send it to
>> FreedomBallotAccess
>>
http://www.FreedomBatllotAccess.org to support
>> ballot access.  We don't
>> waste our money on a $100,000+ a year office.
>>
>> Please speak out.  At the end of this note is a
>> letter from Maria Fulsom
>> that you may use as a base.
>>
>> Here is a list of the LNC members and alternates:
>> Chair@LP.org
>> Vice-Chair@lp.org

>> Here is the letter Maria Fulsom sent the LNC:
>> To the Libertarian Party:
>>
>> We've just learned that LNC plans to invite Ron Paul
>> to join the
>> Libertarian Party and run for nomination for
>> president if he loses the
>> Republican nomination.
>>
>> What an awful idea! We are extremely disappointed
>> and angry about your
>> decision. Ron Paul is not a principled libertarian.
>> His positions on
>> issues do not consistently promote freedom, as you
>> should well know.
>> This is an insult to the fine candidates who have
>> already expended their
>> time, money, and efforts to promote liberty in a
>> truly Libertarian spirit.
>>
>> Supposedly it was Bob Barr who proposed this
>> ridiculous idea. Bob Barr
>> is another traitor to the cause of liberty. It is
>> not necessary here to
>> remind you of his inconsistent and anti-liberty
>> stance on important
>> issues. It is unconscionable that he should be a
>> person of influence
>> within the LNC. This viper should never have been
>> admitted to the LP.
>>
>> Personally, my husband and I support and actively
>> campaign for George
>> Phillies, a principled and vocal advocate of
>> liberty. When you trash
>> such a fine candidate who has worked so hard thus
>> far to support
>> Libertarianism, you give the message to future
>> potential Libertarian
>> candidates that their efforts will also be trashed
>> as soon as a more
>> popular figure becomes available.
>>
>> If Ron Paul is invited and nominated at the national
>> convention, we will
>> completely withdraw all our future support,
>> activism, and participation
>> for the LP. Paul shouldn't even be invited.
>>
>> I myself have run for office on my state level as a
>> Libertarian
>> candidate (with little support, by the way, from my
>> state party and no
>> support from you phonies at the national level.) If
>> this fiasco with Ron
>> Paul results in his nomination by the LP, in future
>> I will run for
>> office with another party, and I will tell all my
>> constituents,
>> neighbors, Phillies supporters, and other
>> Libertarian-leaning citizens
>> of Montana to NOT support the Libertarian Party
>> anymore.
>>
>> In summary, the LNC has prostituted us for
>> expedience, in the hope of
>> 'populism' and at the expense of liberty.
>>
>> Disgusted Libertarians,

    George is just wrong. I think George is out of step with the LP. As for anyone to accuse Ron Paul of not being a Libertarian is just ridiculous. Ron Paul is a Libertarian and also a Life member of the Libertarian Party.

    Phillies--get a life. You want to continue to hold court over 0.5% of the electorate. A Paul candidacy now would be the best thing that has ever happened to the LP. He has probably raised more money to date than all of the LP candidates in the history of our party comibined.

    If he ran in '08 on our ticket, he would spread Libertarian fever across America, and maybe even contribute to the implosion of the GOP (!), especially if they nominate Guiliani, because that means the social conservatives would leave that party to form their own party, and the economic conservatives would come to us.

    With people like you and DONDEROOO around, it is a wonder we get anything done.

    It is funny that people who claim to have such a great respect for our Constitution want to violate our party ByLaws in the same manner Congress has violated the Constitution. The LNC cannot endorse Ron Paul. In fact, in my opinion they went too far with this resolution and their previous actions towards the current Libertarian Party Presidential candidates.

    PLEASE QUIT WHINING AND GET THE CLOSEST THING TO A LIBERTARIAN PARTY IN THE WHITE HOUSE! For America's sake, re-think it, check out Ron Paul's views. He is a lifetime member of the Libertarian Party! He's one of US. Take the high road and think about someone other than yourselves. PLEASE HELP us keep a war monger off the Republican ticket so America can start to heal and our chldren are not sent off to Iraq, Iran, Syria or Pakistan to DIE, I AM BEGGING YOU to see the bigger picture.
    Give me Liberty or give me death!
