WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION
2010 WILL BE A VERY IMPORTANT YEAR FOR THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY IN FLORIDA 2010 Libertarian Party Of Florida Convention - Panama City The LPF - 2010 convention is now over. We made very few changes in the By-Laws, certainly nothing earth shattering. The only thing that was half way exciting was my resolution for Florida to withdraw from the Libertarian Party - U. S. When I made my motion there were several “What the Hell’s” and then silence. As I explained my motion and a desire for such things became very clear to most. Florida adopted the 2004 National Platform as its State Platform in early 2009. Florida likes the 2004 Platform and considers it the last Libertarian Platform. With the surprise moves by the National Convention about the Platform Committee in 2006 and their raping of what was left of the platform in 2008, The continued bastardization of that article in 2010 is no surprise. We had a long discussion of what was happening with impute by Geoff Scott we decided it would be a good idea but further decided that it may harm our 2010 candidates (Including Me) in the up coming elections. We tabled the motion until the 2011 convention and from the feelings of the 2010 convention we will no longer be members of the Libertarian Party - US if the reform caucus has their way or if W.A.R. Is elected to anything to do with the national committee. Our Banquet Speaker was once again Dr. Randal Holcome and was well received and presented a good talk about the current condition of the US and how we got here. Sunday morning we opened with presentations from Mark Hinkle about his quest for the National Chair and Party building. His supposed 20 minutes went into something like 1 hour and 20 minutes with the audience hanging on to his every word. Afterward he took questions about both subjects and one question was “Why don’t you exhibit more passion” His answer was a classic. “I am not a type A personality. I am a worker, I know how to do the necessary things and I get things done, and I do not quit.” The rest of the day was work and training sessions. We closed up about 2 PM and said our goodby’s. Attendance was about 45 or 50. The Bay County Party was a good host. Some may differ but most of us enjoyed ourselves. This was the first convention held in the panhandle and there were people there from panhandle counties of Bay, Washington and Okaloosa. We were hoping for more turnout from the panhandle but we will do better next time we are in that area. Sorry you were not there because we had fun, took care of business and generally enjoyed ourselves. JOHN WAYNE SMITH LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA - 2010 203 W.
