I would like to become more involved in the Libertarian Party. I am a small business owner and actually own two corporations that employee about 15 people in the State of Texas. I have always considered myself an independent, but vote Repubican the majority of the time. I read the Libertarian platform recently and realized I am actually a libertarian! I would like to get involved with the party. I actually graduated with a political science degree, so I am somewhat knowledgeable in politics, but certainly no expert. I live in Brown County and I do not see much in the way of a party presence here?

Thanks,

Todd Burns

How can I get a yard sign?

Hello, so my questions has to do with what i need to do in order to become a card carrying member of the Libertarian party of Texas. I just registered online for info from the party. But, does that mean that i am now a member, or what else do i need to do in order to become a member? Also what is the best way to become involved? I am a college student and a youth for Gary Johnson Weld president at Stephen F. Austin State university. I think that while the presidential election is of great importance, it is the elections at the local, state, and national legislative level that will truly be the tipping point for the libertarian party. Please let me know what i can do as an activist to advance the libertarian cause. Thanks!

Cheers,

Malachi

Hi there, I was at the Gary Johnson rally in Austin and there was a professional photographer taking pictures. I’m not sure if he worked for Gary Johnson or you guys or for the local libertarian party group but I was hoping you may know where I could find these pictures? He took a picture of my friend and I that I was hoping to find. I had a “feel the johnson” shirt with a porcupine on it and blue shorts and he had a “come and take it” shirt as well as american flag shorts.

Hello my name is Anibal Delgado Jr and I’d like to get involved with the Libertarian Party in Houston, TX.

You want another issue (in Texas) to garner votes?

People are being forced out of their houses (in San Antonio) because of rising property taxes. At age 65, we can ‘freeze’ the “tax” part — but the school assessments keep skyrocketing. I’m a big proponent of education, but I have no kids, and ain’t there a time when enough is enough — paying for someone else’s brats? How about a state amendment to freeze all rising property assessments for those >65 yrs?

Put that into your local campaigns & betcha it’ll get a big following!

How do I get a Gary Johnson yard sign preferably locally. (03-918-3515 or jerrykingod17@outlook.com

As a fiscal conservative/social libertarian who has generally voted Republican, I’ve become frustrated and disillusioned with the two dominant parties and their presidential offerings this cycle in particular. Stop me if you’ve heard this before.


The bloated size and scope of the federal government and the corruption it breeds is the absolute gravest threat to the future of this nation. Neither the party I once ascribed to, nor their opposition are offering anything remotely approaching solutions to this. Its not a bug, its a feature and we’re all big government liberals now.


I want another choice. Further, I want to get involved and make an impact somehow, someway. Like so many, I get caught up in my own life, my own responsibilities and distractions but time has come to do something.

With the best possible chance for a Libertarian Party success in some

50 years, why are we not seeing a big push now—the window of

opportunity is diminishing rapidly! All I see now is this “Well, golly, gee”

layback attitude!


Are we going to get off our collective butts and DO SOMETHING??


Sincerely,


Bud Bearce

I used to vote for most of the Libertarians.


No more. I can’t believe you guys are running Gary Johnson. Anti gun, pro immigration, and just so many other things that are NOT Libertarian.

Please discontinue my monthly contributions of $103.00. I have seen no evidence of the party in Texas

Please help me to understand why Rick Perkins appears on the list of Texas Libertarian candidates, but the Austin Chronicle reported recently that the Democrat is running unopposed in Texas District 49? I supported and gave to that campaign. What’s up?

I will be voting straight Libertarian, here in Corpus Christi. Could some one put a sign in my yard?

I am interested in becoming more involved in the work of the LP, and especially in bringing the candidacy of Gary Johnson to the attention of so many disaffected voters.

I want to help send Gary Johnson and Bill Weld to the White House. I am new to your party but I want to get much more involved. I need to know where I can get info on Gary Jonhson and Bill Weld to canvass my neighborhood to let people know that there is another choise than R&D

I could not reach Gerald Fowler, US House Of Representatives, 7th district in 2014—please forward this:


Good luck with all your campaigns Gerald, and please contact me if you need help. If you give me an email address, I’d be glad to send my growing database of our over 1,600 candidates who are stepping forward—like you—to solve this latest problem with our great country. Maybe you good people could get to know each other. Also, joining https://www.facebook.com/groups/Libertarian.candidates “Libertarian candidates helping each other” should be enjoyable.


10. 1¶4: What would be the price of a contract insurance policy?


One percent of the value being insured. For example—in order to buy a house—if I sign a contract with a bank to repay one hundred thousand dollars over a thirty year period, I would pay our government one thousand dollars per year to insure the deal. If I continue to make the agreed upon payments, I could enjoy my house without interference from anyone. Multiplying these common transactions by the number of Americans, our government could earn billions of dollars.


This is the revolutionary idea: “our government could EARN”—just like what every other law abiding citizen has been doing since governments were invented. Instead of politicians bribing one group to impose a tax on another and then using that money to buy votes for the next tax, politicians would be elevated to the honorable status of people who provide a valuable service, and work to satisfy their customers. This new job description probably would not appeal to those who enter government to gain power over people—a great byproduct of contract insurance.


If the one percent premium was too low to operate our government, our politicians could either increase their efficiency or raise the price. If the price was too high, either the voters could elect politicians who would lower it or people would be free to operate without contract insurance. With this innovation, we finally could bring government into the civilized world, where people offer value for value. www.LP4.org

Hello,


I would like to know how to officially register as a libertarian party affiliate. I am having trouble finding resources about it.


Thanks,

I want to be more involved! County precinct chair or something…

Little note as someone who is working on spreading Gary Johnson’s campaign in Texas. Using positive contrasts instead of negative contrasts is much more likely to gain new members, and under the Principles tab on the main page, each of the “Libertarina &” items uses negative contrast. This is going to drive people away instead of bringing people in. Showing how we are similar is important. Just something to think about and possibly pass along to the website design team. Feel free to contact me for any volunteer work.

Why don’t you have a several pages documenting the history of the Libertarian party in Texas and all those who ran for office in Texas as Libertarians back to the beginning in 71?

I am interested in any events and getting involved in Houston prior to the elections in November.

I am excited that we now have a qualified candidate joining the presidential election. I could not vote for either candidate in good conscience. Please let me know what I can do to help make Gary Johnson our next president.

Is there an office or contact person in Lubbock?

I have just recently moved to the Houston area from central Illinois. Throughout this past decade I have become increasingly more concerned with politics. Having served in the military, then returned home to manage a bar on a state college campus, I have seen the extremes of both the right-leaning and the left. If there is anything I can do in my area to help out, especially with the upcoming election, please let me know.
