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,
