Want a REAL Tea Party?

By Jeff, on April 14th, 2009%

This just came to me from LP-National, and it sounds solid to me!

The Libertarian Party Prosperity Plan

  1. Repeal the income tax: Adopt legislation repealing the income tax and abolishing the Internal Revenue Service. Until the income tax is repealed, adopt legislation preserving the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts and enacting across-the-board income tax cuts.
  2. Adopt the Balanced Budget Amendment: Adopt a constitutional amendment requiring the federal budget be balanced, and balanced exclusively by cutting expenditures, not by raising taxes.
  3. Abolish corporate welfare and bailouts: Adopt federal legislation prohibiting any federal spending program that provides payments or unique benefits and advantages to specific companies or industries, terminating programs that provide direct grants to businesses, eliminating programs that provide research and other services for industries and ending programs that provide subsidized loans or insurance to businesses.

The MIAC Report: An Update

By Jeff, on March 31st, 2009%

I’m hearing from multiple sources that the MIAC Report previously mentioned on this blog here has now officially been rescinded, and that an apology either has been made or is in the works.

Why?

The report did NOT, as noted in the previous post, state that all Libertarians/Ron Paul Supporters/people who fly the Gadsden Flag/etc were terrorists.

It simply said that domestic terrorists tend to also be people that support the same things as the people mentioned above.

Just as in the case of international terrorism, just because you happen to believe a certain way does NOT automatically imply that you are a terrorist.

At the same time, however, because of the image of a certain religion, adherents of that religion face a public image/relations problem that must be overcome.

Unfortunately for us in the Liberty movement, there have been many high-profile domestic terrorism cases, and almost all monsters who committed these acts believed similarly to us, yet did not mind using violence to achieve their objectives.

John Monds (L-Ga) Announces Candidacy for Governor

By Jeff, on March 24th, 2009%

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.

“We must be competitive in the 21st Century. We must have meaningful tax reform that allows businesses and individuals to thrive, a transportation system that eases congestion without raising taxes, an education system that gives more choices and returns control to the local level and we need to stop wasting the taxpayer’s money with mandated long term incarceration of individuals for non-violent victimless infractions of the law”

John Monds, 43, is a graduate of Morehouse College with a degree in Banking and Finance, President of the Grady County NAACP and currently serves on the Grady County Planning Commission.

He resides in Cairo with his wife, Dr. Kathaleena Edward Monds, and four children, Akintunde, Cazembe, Halima and Malik.

The Libertarian Party is Georgia’s third largest political party and the only party in Georgia promoting fewer taxes, less government and personal liberty for all Georgians. To learn more, please visit www.LPGeorgia.com.
