A local Libertarian victory

[Colin]

I just have to boast about this little victory in my home state. Ben Brandon now occupies the new post of Dade County Executive and  is the first Libertarian in Georgia to ever win a partisan race. He came in second on Nov 2, beating the Democrat, and in the runoff yesterday defeated the Republican.

I'm hoping more Libertarians will run under his kind of campaign - one that appeals to a greater deal of people. He didn't call for abolishing things like many in my party do, instead he packaged libertarian philosophy perfectly -

"The Libertarian Party strives to be a party of principle. As such, a party of principle must take a bold stand on the issues of the day. As a matter of basic principle, I advocate the reduction of government intervention in all areas. I oppose any increases in taxation beyond the absolute minimum required to provide basic services. I stand firm and uncompromising in support of individual and economic liberty. I strive to protect these at all costs."

Now that is a Libertarian candidate I would vote for. Keep these victories, albiet small ones, coming. Hopefully you can actually gain some power.

I heard about this! Great news!

I, personally, favor extremism over reaching out, but whatever way you run your campaign, a Libertarian victory is good for whoever it affects.

And that is why Libertarians like you will never win any major political office.

Well that's just me.

I'm personally for reaching out and making libertarianism mainstream rather than extreme.

I hope that their are more Libertarians like you John. I would like to see your party become mainstream.
