I have met quite a few people here in this forum.  I can say a lot of them are Libertarians like myself.

It is a shame that we the people have to vote Democrat or Republican.  We Libertarians know that one of them will win, and can't vote for a Libertarian because our vote will be wasted.

What can we do to increase the Libertarian parties power?

I know money is the number one object.

I am curious.  Lets take a poll to see how many Libertarians there are.  Are we being under represented?

I know this is not a professional poll, but we can use the average numbers from this post to get a general idea.

Colt I agree. Get rid of parties. As to your second post, I do take into consideration party platform. This is what bothers me. I vote Republican for moral issues, but then I have to take their garbage.(Feed the rich and take from poor.) I vote for a Democrat for workers rights and have to take their immorality. It is a catch 22. I know you will want to respond about moral and immorality. That is not what this post is about. It is about having to settle for one or the other knowing to do the right thing on one hand and hurt yourself on the other.

Luv's, I can't say. I am in same boat. You will have to figure out for yourself. Both parties have good points and bad. I feel that change is needed and parties should not be allowed to be backed by special interests.

Lets just say, I used to be Republican. Without giving to much information, I will let you know I am extremely close to a certain politician in Lansing. What I have learned in the past few years upsets me very much.

To find out about platforms , you'll have to check out each party's by going to their websights . Type in party platform , and read . After reading , think about actions of members of these parties , you'll soon notice that dems and pubs don't even follow there own party's platforms . As long as they're good fund raisers , it doesn't matter . Then , go to Libertarianparty.org , notice how simple the party platform is , and keep in mind that Librtarians kick out members that don't follow the platform . I worked for the Libertarian party , have written ads , come up with ideas for campaigns , and can say that dishonesty is strictly forbidden . No form of deception is allowed either . As far as changing the political atmosphere , I've commented before about leveling the playing field that is allready stacked in favor of the 2 party system . By not allowing anyone running for office to spend anymore than what the office pays for 1 tearm is fair , and keeps the politicians honest , and working for you , not special interest .

This means that they wont have millions of dollars to spend on faulse advertising [ brainwashing ] , they would have to work , and perform , in order to get re-elected , as opposed to running around collecting money for the next election . this would also create smarter voters , in order for them to know who's running , they would have to take some kind of action to find out , as apposed to watching TV , and judging the candidates on who lies the best .

Or who can afford the most comercials . This also makes it easier for new commers to enter the field . People that don't have millions of dollars , and political ties . People other than lawyers for example . How about people that want to serve our country , instead of a political party , or people that believe in our constitution , our people , and our way of life ? we have all been fooled by appearances , drumbeating , mainstream media for to long , and have not been voting on substance . The change starts with you , and you alone .

Great reply Shock. I totally agree. Political outcomes are largely on money, commercials, looks etc. The playing field should be level. The 2 parties will not allow that.

Lets start a movement. All you Libertarians out there, lets make a pact to vote for our party so our vote is not wasted.

Sarge,

I have voted both ways myself. I would like to see us end the electoral college. I think the will of the people should elect the President. I for the most part vote Democratic. Luv's a party platform is what all of the party stand for, but in the end it is just mainly a bunch of hogwash. I voted for Ron Reagan the first time he ran he was the better choice. I didn't vote for the Republicans I voted for the Man.

Correct Tall , in your hogwash statement , if you were referring to the dems and pubs , just wanted people to look for themselves , not just take someones word for it . The platform is not hogwash when it comes to Libertarians , as they take their platform to heart .

I am married with two kids. I like hunting, fishing and the shooting sports. I am born and raised in northern Michigan and moved down here to the city in 1999 to receive better wages. I am a Centrist. I vote for whom I feel will be the best candadate; Libertarian, Republican or Democrat. I believe free trade is a good thing, only when the playing field is level. China is not a level playing field. "Competeing" with China is just a lie to try to silence true Americans. It is not possible to "compete" with China when their labor, environmental laws are non existent. The use of tax breaks for business's to send jobs overseas and creating the path for business to do the same is traitorous and should be abolished.
