Participating as a delegate in the 2018 Texas State Libertarian Convention was a revelation. I realized that democracy is not a goal but a process, and I think that this was the first time in my life that I really have participated in democracy. Wow! I am sixty-three years old and this is my first experience of democracy.
The first day I described as being both boring and interesting. Boring because there is a lot of sitting around and sometimes the procedures can seem tedious. And interesting because people are engaged and invested in what we are doing. We believe that what we are doing is important, maybe not in the details, but in the big picture.
On Sunday I started to see that this process is simultaneously chaotic and orderly. Chaotic in that the individuals and groups that make up our party each have different opinions and different ways that they want to accomplish the same goals. Orderly in that, via Robert’s Rules of Order and our own Rules, we manage to keep inching forward on the Agenda without too much acrimony.
Somehow three hundred plus Texans came together in Houston and created something that was greater than the sum of our parts. This is pretty amazing.
I think that most people, including myself, believe that democracy for the common person is about going into a voting booth and pressing buttons. This is akin to always eating at McDonald’s. Nothing against McDonald’s, but if your only choices are a burger with mayonnaise or a burger with mustard, that is not much of a choice. The voting booth is sort of a product-oriented version of democracy.
If more people had the opportunity to learn about and participate in the process of democracy, we would have them beating a path to our party’s door. There is a lot to learn about the process. As a rank beginner, I benefited from the knowledge and skill of the many people who have learned how to use Robert’s Rules of Order.
My thanks to every single person who participated.

I read in the March 6, 2018 FW Star Telegram that you have an upcoming Convention & advised people wanting to be involved in the Libertarian convention to not vote in the primaries!! How can we be involved citizens when advised to not vote – & one cannot vote for Libertarians in the primary since no Libertarian was on the ballot. Quite the “Catch 22” – especially for those of us who consider voting a responsibility of living in the US.
I noticed that you advise not to vote in the primary if you want to be a delegate.
Will there be a precinct convention in Eastland county?
If so, where, when, etc.

I just hope this is handled appropriately by the Libertarian Party of Texas, because bigotry has no place in the Libertarian Party.
First of all, we won’t have any candidates at all until after the various conventions where candidates will be officially nominated.
We had well over 100 Applications For Nomination submitted, and about 70% of them were submitted yesterday, and many in the last hour of the day. Our Chair and our Ops Director are busy vetting each application to ensure that they are completed correctly. Given that they are volunteers and have other personal commitments like job and school and family, the rest of us should accept the fact that they are human and only have so much time to do so much work.
The list will be out later today the very moment is is completed to the Chair’s satisfaction that everything is accurate and true.
Suffice to say – this election season is shaping up to be a great time for LP Texas!
