Here's another Lee Wrights Video addressing the primary focus of his bid to carry the banner of Liberty in this years Presidential contest. Stop all war.
Damn nice work, I'd like to see some similar efforts by the rest of the covey of candidates that are seeking the Libertarian nod in Las Vegas. April's knocking on the door and May is just a shout away.

Loss of Essence.... And a DeKalb County LP Meeting on Tuesday!
You're not gonna hear about Fluoride at a republican or democrat county level political meeting here in the great state of Georgia. You will hear about the other half of the two party duopoly and what a rotten bunch of skeezits they are and how critical it is to keep those pesky Libertarians off the ballot.
Welcome to LibertyLand!
Utilizing the miracle of the interwebs, I'm now up to 3 page deep speed on Fluoride, that miracle drug of the 50's! Like lots of stuff from the last mid century, it looks like the benefits are far outweighed by the negatives. So, with a hearty chorus of "But We've Always Done It That Way?!" come and join us at the DeKalb LP meeting tomorrow.
Hot off the presses from the redoubtable Chair of the DeKalb LP, David Montane!

Just another WordPress.com site
Decatur, Georgia: “The Libertarian Party of DeKalb County (LP DeKalb) announced today they are reaching out to workers in the banking industry struggling with how to make a clean break into legitimate industries. The novel program LP DeKalb introduced is called “Bankers Anonymous”. Loosely patterned on Alcoholics Anonymous and similar programs, the 7-step program will meet in secret locations and use first names only, protecting the identity of bankers taking this decisive step to admit their addiction to income derived from counterfeiting (fiat paper money), fraud (fractional reserve lending), and theft (government bailouts and “insurance” at taxpayer expense).
“Says LP DeKalb Chairman David MontanĂ©, ‘This will seem like a joke to some, but bankers have been known to commit suicide, in some cases we suspect because they realize they have staked their career on a systemically corrupt industry. They had no idea when they started how banks defraud people of enormous wealth. Often decades pass before they realize this. Many work in jobs sheltered from such knowledge, some are in denial, and the rest continue hiding behind a veil of respectability.’
“After several years of economic malaise, and nearly 100 years since the Federal Reserve System was instituted, many citizens and some bankers are waking up to the reality that the U.S. banking system is based on counterfeit money, fraudulent loans and government bailouts. LP DeKalb wants bankers to know, unlike the Occupy Wall Street movement, libertarians understand, and you can turn to them for help.”

Shane Bruce Opines on "Wasted Votes", Ballot Access and "The Lesser of Two Evils"
Spring is in the offing and as mother nature reawakens so do several remarkable, seasonal, political phenomena. . Since this is a Presidential election cycle for the good old US of A, the first tender tendrils of the "Wasted Vote Syndrome" and it's ugly sister "Lesser of Two Evils" have begun to sprout and insert themselves into the drama of this election cycle.
Here's a modest video I shot way back in 2010 that looks at the question of the theoretical Wasted Vote and a couple of other related topics. Sure it's not 90 seconds, but it's as quick as I could get through it. If you have a video response, send it along!

Libertarian Lee Wrights Newest TV Spot
Not hot off the presses, but noticeably warm.
It's GJ mania here in Libertyland, but let's not forget there's other candidates running for the chance to carry the Banner of Liberty this fall. People not named GJ.
One of them is Lee Wrights and this video is sort of a multi-use vehicle that could benefit any Libertarian candidate running for office. I like that, campaign material is hard to generate and damned expensive to produce. Congratulations to Libertarian Lee Wrights for this contribution to the Libertarian community and I wish our other candidates would follow suit. Sure looks like an opportunity for a slew of 30 second spots focusing on the Libertarian Party platform.
What about it Candidates?

Libertarian Jonathan Smith announces for Georgia State House District 154
A lot can happen since Saturday.
Libertarian Jonathan Smith was nominated at the Georgia LP Convention last Saturday for a run at the State house seat in District 154. That's way south kids. Turns out he had some stuff ready to go as soon as he got the nod, and it's pretty damn good.
It's a petition race against a incumbent republican incumbent by the name of Jay Roberts. Jonathan is going to have to run a petition drive to get on the ballot to mount his challenge and he's going to need every bit of help he can get to make that happen.
You have to wonder what the republicans and democrats here in Georgia are so afraid of that they persist in maintaining our 1943 Jim Crow Ballot access laws. Loss of power maybe?
Nahhh. It couldn't be that.

Hey Kids, It's 2012 Libertarian Convention Time in Athens!
Let the politickin' begin!
The pregame festivities are underway even as I lay index fingers on this gunked -up keyboard in merry old Athens, Georgia. Libertarian Doug Harman and his crew in the Athens LP affiliate have moved mountains to set the stage for a truly great convention for Georgia Libertarians this year.
I'm making my list and checking it twice for tomorrow morning's load out as I head to the morning Bizness session to cast my ballot for Vice Chair of our party. Lots of interesting speakers on hand and a Presidential Candidate Debate in the afternoon!
Can it get any better?

Job Operknockaity
Hot off of CraigsList Kids!
Looks like somebody in Atlanta is looking to get into the suddenly lucrative firearms themed television production industry. The apparent commercial success of Red Jacket, American Guns and others has savvy media types scrambling to find and field their very own niche programming for the well heeled 2nd amendment crowd.
I stumbled across this today whilst scanning for other items and felt compelled to respond.

We need the best and baddest gun builder/gunsmith/gun rehab dude for a competition show. We need someone who is schooled in antique guns, who can build one from scratch, who all around loves guns.
BIG personalities are welcomed.
Please send a photo and a description of what your skills are.

RE: Major Cable Network looking for expert gunsmith
Greetings All,
Congratulations for having the most interesting post on Craigslist today.
I am intrigued by your advert and would like to know more. While I am very conversant in all the required activities and am in procession of a galactic sized personality, I must inform you that I am not capable of or inclined to build any firearm from scratch.
Want to know how I work on camera? Go here: http://www.youtube.com/ user/OODA999?feature=mhee
Want to know how and what I think? Try http://bludgeonandskewer. blogspot.com/
Lastly, What's the first rule of Gunfighting?
Regards,
Shane Bruce
The readership is encouraged to respond to the ad as well as there is no way of knowing just what they might be looking for. I do recall one of our Douglas County LP members fitting the bill pretty well, but sadly, I just can't recall the name of the shop.

Libertarian Wrangler?
Possibly not the best descriptor to use for a functional title, but it beats the hell out of mailboy.
That's right kids, I'm the newly acknowledged Libertarian Wrangler for the DeKalb LP and it falls to me to figure out how to crack the single largest corundum facing my affiliate and all the others in the USA. How do you increase the number of card carrying Libertarians in DeKalb County?
Perhaps free Hats? A recent free beer experiment failed to produce any measurable increase in attendance although it would be hard to prove by looking at the bar bill. Libertarians like to drink, and talk and fume about a host of issues but I have yet to see any serious part time proselytizing like those Jehovah cats do. I'm not sure that model works anyway and who has time or inclination to knock on doors at random in the hopes of locating politically like minded individuals that might be amenable to sign on for a hike through LibertyLand?
Like I said, it's a problem that has afflicted us Libertarians for the last 30 years but as Libertarian Wrangler here in DeKalb county I intend to conduct some experiments with novel methods for attracting new members to at least catch up with Doug Harman's crew up in Athens.
The readership is encouraged to share any ideas or experiences they have had in increasing membership rolls, at least the ones that worked. Don't worry about ideas that sound absolutely bizarre, we're Libertarians, you can't out-bizarre us.
Hey, how about a Bizarro-Libertarian membership? You don't join the party, you just vote for our candidates when you can. There's 10,000 Bizarro-Libertarians in DeKalb county and 95,000 in Georgia. I know because they cast their ballots for me way back in 2010!
And no, you don't get a free T-Shirt.
