Since the elections are over. now is the time to build on the momentum that the Libertarian Party gained. The party is now on the ballots in 48 state, and from what i here, that is from now on.
So now i think we need to focus on the local area around us. We need to each do our part locally. It will take Name recognition to get this party going. It will take us talking constantly about Our Libertarian Party and Our Ideals.
So i have a challenge for each and everyone of the readers here. Regardless of whether you live in the Upstate of SC or not.
1- Talk to your friends. Anytime Politics comes up as a topic, bring up the Libertarian perspective. Tell them of how you feel the Libertarians would make the situation, in your own words. This will have a humongous impact on the political world.
2 - Start a letter campaign. Start writing Letters To The Editor in your local paper about Your Libertarian Party. Write as often as they will let you. Here in my local paper we have the Letter section and another opinion section. If yours does, send to both of them. Bombard the paper with your writing. (If you write 3 or more that has the word Libertarian in it, then you can log onto www.theadvocates.org and nominate yourself for an award that they do.)
3 - TV. If you can find a way to get on TV to talk your political views, DO IT!
4 - Radio. Call into the local Talk Radio Stations and bring up the Libertarian Party as much as you can. Everyone else calls in to talk of THEIR party. Why don't you call in about YOUR party.
5 - If you do not have a local chapter of the Libertarian Party, look into starting one. And get the name out. Just for the record i am seriously thinking about getting the ball rolling for the county that i am in. I was in the works with it earlier this year, but i got side tracked with everything going on, and dropped the ball.
6 - Challenge those you know to run for Political Office in your local area. Even if it is only for the position of Dog Catcher. We have to start somewhere.
So there is your challenge. So who is up for it? Leave comments to let the other readers know what your plans are. If there is a big enough turnout, I might even have to put in an Awards Program for this.
Viva Liberty!

Salute!
I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank You to all of the Veterans past and present who have put their lives on the line for us. It is because of your sacrifice of time, your body, and ultimately your life, that i can sit here today with the freedoms that we have.
There have been many threats against this Republic that we live in. The threats have gotten bigger and bolder as our history has went along. Some within, some without. But it is because of the people that have put their lives on the line to guarantee our rights for the next generation that we have survived.
So always remember, to the Veterans of this country, you will always be remembered for what you have done for me. I salute you on this day.
Salute!
Viva Liberty!

A Letter To Americans
Well the election is over finally. Can't say that i am pleased with the outcome, but i figured it would be this way. But here is what i officially have to say.
Dear America,
I would like to say first how happy i am for the sheer volume of voter turnout at the polls yesterday. It is looking like around 70% of registered voters came out to vote. Which i feel is truly spectacular. I think it is spectacular in the sense that a majority of Americans are finally understanding what this right means, and how important it is to take part of this process. I hope this is a sign of things to come when it comes to citizens standing up for the rights that they have.
I would also like to say that i am glad that the American people stood up and made their voices heard on who they thought would be best to run this country. I am disappointed for who the nation picked. But i as a citizen have to stand behind the decision that they made, right or wrong.
I think that the Democratic Party needs to celebrate a little for their win. However to the Democrats i would say to be careful. Be careful of the decisions that you make for the American populace. Your decisions will effect everyone, so take everyones thought into account when you are deciding on what needs to happen in Washington. Listen to your constituents and not the lobbyists. Listen to the conservatives, not just the liberals. Listen to the concerns of the citizens, protect the rights of the citizens.
I think that the Republicans need to think hard as for what got them into this loss. You need to get back to listening to the people in your party. You lost this round not because of being a "Republican", but because you turned back on your base. You turned your back on your ideals, you turned your back on your morals, and lastly you turned your back on your word. Because of your party, we now have one of the biggest deficits in our history, we now have more government control, we have more government involvement in our life, we have less say in our government, we have a poor economy, and we have less rights. All of these things are things that your party has constantly spoke against, but have failed to act on.
I think that the message of the Libertarians will start to take hold in the people that voted yesterday. Libertarians need to fight to get themselves on the televisions across this country on a daily basis, by any means. Libertarians need to force their message on the masses. Libertarians need name recognition.
Lastly i would like to say to the American voters. Those of you who voted for the Democrat candidate thinking you will get some free stuff, just remember you never get anything for free. Your so called free things you think you will get will come at the expense of higher taxes, less rights, and more government control.
Last night you made your bed, only now you have to sleep in it. Remember that when things are not going the way that you think that they should, you voted for this. You voted for "free" healthcare that will dictate what doctor you can go to and what procedures you can have. You voted for inferior education at a premium price with no say on what goes on. You voted for redistribution of wealth that will end up being nothing more that the government taking more of everyones money with you seeing nothing but more government wasteful pork spending.
You may ask why i am saying this when i also voted. I did vote, and i can say these things because i voted for what is right. I voted for less taxes, less government, more rights, more government accountability, and more freedom. I voted Libertarian. And only those who voted the way i did can say that. Everyone else voted for a form of Socialism (some voted for more extreme versions than others) and now they will see what their vote will get them.
I pray that in 4 years a real change will take place, and that change will get us back to the Constitution.
Enjoy your bed America,
Spartanburg Libertarian!

Well Its Here
Well, let me first say sorry for the hiatus this month. It is been overwhelming for me. So i just stepped back for a little bit to regroup myself.
But today is the day, the day we all have been waiting for. This is the day where your voice can truly be heard. So get out and Vote, Vote for who you think is the best for this country and yourself. Vote for the one that will fight to give you your rights.
Don't let others pressure you into vote for someone you do not feel is right to be the leader of this country.
Exercise your right. It might determine the rest of your rights.
Viva Liberty!
