EDITORIAL MATTERS:

Okay, we recommend reading this:

Both Action and Inaction Have Consequences
by Linda Schrock Taylor

Someone recently posed a very shocking and worrisome question, "Did the Ron Paul supporters stay home on Election Day, and were their non-votes enough to throw the election to the liberals?" I found the idea frightening but worthy of consideration. Did they?

My thoughts first carried me back to my youth. In my mind's eye I could review the lessons that I had learned about moving on with life following disappoints; about finding a new focus once an old one became unworkable; about wanting the best for my/our self identification group, be it family narrow or nation wide.

Be sure to look at that anyway for the cool graphic at the top of the page: D.C. in ruins

An Open Letter to Robert K. Dornan
by L. Neil Smith
A while ago, I wrote a column suggesting to Libertarians that we adopt a strategy which, while not altering our record at the polls appreciably, would force the kind of change that was our reason for running candidates to begin with. I said we should focus our party's meager resources on races where a Republican had won the last election by 5% of the vote or less, and abandon every other effort, including our costly and absurd Presidential candicacy. Winning has always been beyond our grasp, but we're often able to take 5% of the vote, meaning we can control such races, ensuring defeat of the Republican incumbent.

Making "Voluntary" Service Mandatory—One Step At A Time
by C. Jeffery Small
It was the Obama Administration's push for the institution of a national service program back in 2009 that was the impetus for my original essay launching the John Galt Pledge, along with this accompanying blog. You can find past articles on the subject in the archives under Service.
