Unhappy with government growing out of control under a Republican
administration? Electing a Republican president in 2000 turned out
to be not quite what you anticipated?

Actually i voted for you Harry, and surprise surprise your cronies ran off with the LP's money
.
Victim of hyperbole and great expectations for the Republican government?

Using isolationism and "hate america first" mindset as an attempt to justify ignoring tyranny?

.
Disappointed that the once great Republican Party did not reduce a
single government program in the last 4 years?

whereas we have Libertarians elected in some states on government commissions that shouldn't exist and still do ( even though the florida libertarian party has owned all the seats)
.
Many of you are undoubtedly considering the Libertarian Party. It's a
tough move. It's a process that is not going to be easy.
.
Yeah its a tough move to a political party that has you as a member FOR LIFE

and, that is bankrupt

But keep in mind, many of us current Libertarians have gone through
the exact same process as you are going through at this very moment.
.
and if you look at the vote totals in 2004... many many MANY more left


Look at Jerry Cameron. Former Republican official in Florida. Worked
hard for Republican candidates. In 2002 Jerry came into the Libertarian
Party kickin' and screamin'. Now he's one of the most diehard
Libertarians in the country.
.
Where is he in Florida? What position does he hold? and of course is he still a registered republican?



The list of former Republicans who have joined the Libertarian Party is
long. Just look at the hundreds of former Republicans.
.

Hundreds out of a party that gets tens of millions of votes

going to a party that gets hundreds of thousands of votes


that is just a ringing endorsement


We know it is tough.
.
This is why we have established a 12-step program to help you out
along the way.
.

This one involves some form of pot infusion i am thinking


Simply call our Libertarian help line at 1-800-ELECT-US. We will
put you in touch with an ex-Republican who will walk you through
the process of converting from excuse-making Republican into a
proud, principled, no-excuses Libertarian.
.

who continues to vote for people who can't win an election ( because they don't know how to win an election)

Who ends up seeing a political system less and less responsive to their ideas, then the old days when various political factions fought for the heart and soul of the major parties and political comprimise was formed

and oh yeah, Ron Paul is a republican because of ballot access laws right? if he keeps getting such a massive vote count why doesn't Dr. No switch parties?

oh thats right because he knows he'd lose


Go ahead. Pick up that phone. Call now!
.
What do you have to lose?
.

time.. by talking to a liberteriawitness


We will also put you in touch with other Libertarians in your state
so that you can get active in real world politics actually
accomplishing something for liberty.
.

What has the Libertarian party accomplished again? as a former 5 year registered Libertarian ( 96-01) and as a former LP member (98-present.... because i don't have to pay to get my membership card) what have we accomplished?

In the last 4 years, no less than hundreds of Republican diehards
have contacted our Hotline (by phone or email).
.

Yet libertarian canidates ( Harry included) keep seeming to get less and less votes

One of them who lives in a Mid-Western State was a severe critic
of the Libertarian Party. Now he's thinking of getting active locally
with Libertarians.
.

Yeah be like that guy, in that state... yeah he is so going to possibly get active with the libertarian party

woooo


Another one, a well-known investments guy from a far southern
State is now kicking around the idea of actually running for
Congress in 2006 AS A LIBERTARIAN!!
.

So well known you can't say his name

way to spread the name recognition of your congressional canidate their chief

oh wait some one who MIGHT be a congressional canidate

is he a libertarian yet? or will he MAYBE be a Libertarian?

Call us now! 1-800-ELECT-US. Any time day or night. We will
help you to join the growing Libertarian movement.
.

Which no longer releases membership numbers

thats a total sign of growth baby

Remember once you're a Libertarian, you no longer have to make
excuses for George Bush, the Republican House, or the
Republican Senate.
.

You get to make excuses for why Harry's friends run up hundred thousand dollar a year consulting bills and why the party no longer gives out its membership numbers

You know you want to pick up that phone. We are waiting for you...
.

cause ummm... we don't have anything else to do
