I'm going to try something new.
The R's are too corrupt, and too entrenched to be swayed in my lifetime.
The D's haven't won an election in my county in decades, and don't even run candidates anymore for most positions. Especially after the state went to a top two election system. It's been R vs R in most contested general elections in the County for the last 8 years.
I think the L's have a real shot at replacing the D's as the primary opposition party with a real shot at winning. As a libertarian you could expect the full support of the Democrats (appx 30%) of the county. As well as a sizable portion of the Disaffected Conservative voters. We have a vibrant TeaParty movement that has not been co-opted by the Neocons, though they tried. JBS is strong here as well.
As such, I am inviting my fellow Ron Paul supporters to help me start looking to win L seats at local county elections immediately, and build toward State representatives and senators. Once the Libertarian party has a strong showing at the local and state level, only then can it be a real national contender. The L's fixation on the Presidency without concern for County Clerk, or City Council is it's major downfall as a party. I think it's time to change.
I am hosting a BBQ to discuss this plan on the Third Saturday in October which is the 20th. At that time I will be running an informal get together to get to know other Liberty activists, and also to make a plan to organize official Libertarian party meetings. The plan is to have a Libertarian win a county or city seat no later than the 2014 midterm elections.
Anyone here living in SW Washington is encouraged to come. All Washingtonians are welcome.
