Record-breaking Libertarian John Monds will announce his intent to run for governor of Georgia.


ATLANTA -- John Monds will be announcing his intention to seek the Libertarian Party of Georgia’s nomination for Governor with a press conference at the Capitol in Atlanta with family, close friends and supporters by his side Wednesday, March 25th at 4:00pm.

During his campaign for Public Service Commission (District 1) in 2008, Monds became the first Libertarian to break one million votes in the United States.

Monds and the Libertarian Party believe Georgians are ready for something new and different. “It’s difficult to tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats; both want to raise your taxes, waste your money and increase the size and scope of state government,” said Monds.

Both Monds and McBerry are scheduled to be in Warner Robins for the Tea Party at 3 pm today. I don't think I can make it, but if I do I will report back what they say.

I might go to that one.

Kind of a broad brush, don't you think? There are certainly members in the NAACP who seek the handouts and see it as some form of reparation for sins dead and gone, but if a certain leader of the NAACP happened to have some libertarian ideas to spread to other people of color (which they have probably rarely ever heard), what exactly is the downside of supporting such a revolutionary-thinking leader of that organization? ;)

Gah, I just found out that Jeff Scott is playing a part in coordinating the Warner Robins tea party. He's a big time neo-con when it comes to foreign policy issues. :(

But I may go anyway to see what we're in for over the next few elections.

The NAACP used to be pretty libertarian, back before FDR. Herbert Hoover alienated the black vote between 1928 and 1932 by selling them out on disaster relief.
