No Longer Your Father's Libertarian Party

   Today the Libertarian Party (LP) sent a broadcast e-mail to its members which announced the creation of the Libertarian National Campaign Committee (LNCC).  The creation of this organization marks a turning point in Libertarian history.  Up until this point, the Party has tended to run "educational" campaigns, whose goal was as much to spread small-government philosophy as it was to win elections.  Wayne Allen Root,a former Libertarian Vice-Presidential Candidate is acting as the committee's chairman.

   Root stated in an attached video that this is "No Longer Your Father's LP."  He calls himself a "Capitalist Evangelist" and promises to lead libertarian candidates to victory.  The LNCC  is planning to act like similar branches of the Republican and Democratic Parties and become a fundraising machine for LP candidates.  As a Conscious Conservative who has followed Libertarian politics for a long time, i will be interesting to see how this project works.
