] No National Convention in 2008!<BR>
><BR>
> The Libertarian Party should not have a National Convention in<BR>
2008!<BR>
> Now that I have your attention, let me assure everybody who is
reading<BR>
this<BR>
> message that I am not a neocon saboteur hellbent on destroying the<BR>
Libertarian Party.<BR>
> I recommend that we hold our National Convention to nominate a<BR>
presidential candidate<BR>
> for 2008 in 2007.<BR>
> This was our practice from 1976 until 1996. The arguments for the
change<BR>
seemed plausible at the<BR>
> time, including more publicity in an election year. Since then it has<BR>
been proven conclusively<BR>
> that the establishment media is our enemy and will not give us fair<BR>
coverage.<BR>
> The most blatant proof of the media bias is the fact that if two<BR>
presidential candidates had<BR>
> been arrested in Russia, Iraq or Iran it would have been front page
news<BR>
and covered by all<BR>
> the networks. Yet when Michael Badnarik and Green Party candidate
David<BR>
Cobb became the<BR>
> first presidential candidates in American history to be arrested
while<BR>
campaigning, not to mention<BR>
> that they were handcuffed and jailed for attempting to commit free<BR>
speech, even Libertarians<BR>
> without access to the internet did not know about this atrocity for<BR>
weeks.<BR>
> Nominating our candidates a year before the convention would give
them<BR>
more time to campaign<BR>
> with unified party support. It would make petitioning easier in many<BR>
states with more time and<BR>
> less expense for paid petitioners where necessary since there is less<BR>
competition in odd-numbered years.<BR>
> Now is the time to promote this return to our original practice
through<BR>
all available media, including LP News.<BR>
