name for group

2009-02-06 Thread Tom Martz
Often it is asked of me if the Missouri Liberty Coalition is a front group
for the Libertarian Party.  Even though we have announced on numerous
occasions that MOLiCO is non political, non partisan, the challenge remains
to distance ourselves from the moniker knows as the libertarian party.  Yes
it is true that we promote ideas such as limited government, fiscal
government, self responsibility which many would say are libertarianesque we
are not part of any organized or unorganized political party.  The word
"liberty" means freedom to me however in many peoples eyes it is associated
with the libertarian party.  I don't believe liberty is a bad thing and I go
out of my way to promote it as a means by which we should live, but as an
organizational name it has been a hinderance as far as respectability.  Not
so much by our actions here locally but by the thought process that many
believe libertarian stand for.

With this thought in mind the idea of changing the name has grown into
something I believe we must do to have any credibility and as such we have
bantered around Ozarks Watchful EYE.  We have contacts of people throughout
Greene County and even the NTU suggested before awarding us a grant that we
should have much more of an impact on the local scene instead of trying to
tackle the state.  The acronym for the organization spells out OWE which
could be bantered about for days but without respectability we will not grow
our ranks.  We have accomplished much in such a short time frame and I
believe that is the reason some of us made it through the primary.  A name
change can do wonders and as soon as this is finalized I can contact the NTU
with the information they requested so we can receive the rest of our grant.

This is an important issue so give it some quick thought and let me know
what you all think.

So much so Teddy that I ran as one and even was the treasurer of the local
group for over a year.  My embarrassment of this is still waning heavy on my
mind.   ROFL !

We cannot nor should we appear to be a political party when what we advocate
has nothing to do with a political party including the libertarians.

The stance of smaller, fiscal government is done with actions not by sitting
on the sidelines, it is individuals that advocate change while the political
structure advocates status quo.  We are all individuals of every political
party 'cept possibly the socialist and communist parties and as such we
advocate for constitutional government.  This as well is done by action
instead of sitting on the sidelines, since the essence of most political
parties is to promote the party even though they do nothing to advance an
agenda, many people feel it to be important to create a group that is known
more by the group then the individual members.

As I heard once either we hang together or we'll hang seperately.  We need
an indentity that says this group is about helping us have complaint
government.

I am 50/50 on it.  I kind of like the MoLiCo... but OWE is a cooler  
acronym.
Also, is there any way that I can only get primary posts to the  
MoLiCo group and not get the replies sent to my inbox?
It is too many emails for me to go through, don't get me wrong though- 
I want to be involved and help at whatever capacity I can.

Re: name for group

Cameron,

I am making an attempt to filter through the e-mails so only those
pertaining to issues here are posted, sometimes some get by that shouldn't
have.  If I wasn't doing this you would have 10 times the amount of e-mails
in your in-box.  This is a work in progress bare with me as I go through the
e-mails to determine whether or not the replies actually relate to the topic
being discussed.

I want this groups postings to be related to local issues, or issues that
have an impact on us on the local level.  Sometimes it is good to read what
other organizations are doing to see if we want to emulate them or not.
