Well today was the day. Today was the day that we met to officially start the Spartanburg branch of the Libertarian Party. Something that i have been wanting to be a part of since early last year. But unfortunately alot of things kept me from getting the ball rolling. So when i got an email from Doug Taylor, from the Anderson County Branch, about the launch, I must say i was starting to get stoked about it. Finally a party that this county needs. The 2 part one party system is not meeting the needs of the citizens of this county. So i am glad to be a part of something bigger then myself that will breath a breathe of fresh air into the local stagnant political air.
So going into today i really wondered how the turn out would be. Normally these type of events don't pull a very big turnout. But i had thoughts of getting there and being no one there but then again i had thoughts of there being a huge turn out. It turned out better then my worst thought.
There were 3 of us total. Doug from Anderson and then myself and another gentleman were there. So as it stands now, there are 2 precinct representatives for the county party.
This party won't be official for a couple of weeks. Today we had to vote on the Precinct Representatives. In a couple of weeks we will meet again and vote on the County Chairman and the Representative to the State Committee. And that point the Spartanburg County Libertarian Party will be official.
So if you are interested in being a part of this, just let me know. We would love to have you at the next meeting (which i will post about when the date is set) and get you into a position in the county party. Then after that we will start having monthly the County Executive Meeting (information will come at a later time).
Viva Liberty!
