Romney Proves He is Incompetent at Foreign Policy Too

10 September 2012 By

This was originally posted at 2010 U.S. Senate candidate Chuck Donovan’s blog, DonovanForLiberty.com.  Re-published here with his permission.

The following headline today shows again the Mitt Romney has no new ideas and embraces the same old bad ideas.

“Romney flexes foreign policy stance, calls again for ‘crippling sanctions’ on Iran”

Imagine someone who thinks “bad” children need to be spanked and punished even worse.  Romney thinks that leadership means we just have to punish “bad” people even worse.  The Iranians refuse to do what we want?  Just threaten and spank them even more.  They still won’t do what we want?  Lets be mass murderers again and bomb them.  See, we solved the whole thing.

Here is a better idea.  ””Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none.”(1)  It isn’t a new idea, just an old one that has yet to be tried, and yet to be offered by the current crop of so-called “leaders”.  Only two candidates have offered this idea in 2012.  One of them is out of the race.  The other is Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

Next LP101 Seminar Scheduled & Georgia For Johnson Strategy Meeting

23 May 2012 By

“Are libertarians just librarians that take liberties? Why is a Libertarian Party even necessary? Aren’t you guys just Republicans?”

On May 12th, we hosted our first LP101 seminar to a packed room, even after moving to a larger space.  The success cost several potential attendees to miss out on the hour-long seminar designed to introduce the beliefs and ideals of the Libertarian Party, as well as to discuss how we stand apart from the old, tired other parties to new, prospective, and even longtime members to the Libertarian Party of Georgia.  We worked to schedule another one as close as possible, both geographically and on the calendar.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this part of our website is a portal to information about our principles, stances on issues, links to Libertarian sites, how to get involved, and information on our one hour seminar, LP 101!

Please share this portal with friends that are looking for more information on the party.

Our next class will begin Saturday, June 2nd at 10:30 AM at the LP Georgia headquarters conference room in Atlanta.  Soon, local organizers will hold these classes across Georgia.

Executive Director Brett Bittner Speaks Out About Marriage Equality

14 May 2012 By

Last week, President Obama announced an “evolution” of his position on marriage equality.  As you can imagine, Libertarians were less than enthused.

I sought to share a Libertarian voice in the conversation, reaching out to The GA Voice, where they published this statement on their blog:

For each individual, marriage means something different. For some, it is a lifetime commitment between two people. For others, it is the beginning of a family. For others still, it is a unity between two people and their Creator. Whatever the reason for marriage, it is an undertaking for which there should be equality under the law. [Read more...]

Locals Go To Libertarian National Convention In Las Vegas

9 May 2012 By

One of our delegates to the Libertarian National Convention in Las Vegas last week, and a volunteer for the Jonathan Smith for State House 154 race, Jessica Polk, provided this recap of the Presidential nominating convention to us, as well as the local media in Southwest Georgia.

Jonathan Smith, native of Donalsonville, who is running for State Representative for District 154, attended the Libertarian National Convention this past weekend where Gary Johnson
was nominated for the 2012 Libertarian Presidential Candidate. Accompanying Smith to the convention was 2010 Georgia gubernatorial candidate John Monds, a Cairo resident. Monds is best-known for holding the record for most votes by any Libertarian in any election in his 2008 race for Public Service Commission. Both Smith and Monds are active in the Libertarian Party of Georgia, as well as avid advocates for civil liberties, smaller government and strict fiscal responsibility that make up the Libertarian platform. Monds committed to assist with Smith’s campaign for State Representative. He also works at the state and local levels to develop Libertarian leadership. [Read more...]
