Things are heating up in these cold months. Summit County Libertarians are needed now more than ever if we are going to accomplish our goal of getting the first Libertarian ever elected to the Ohio State House! Here is a run down of recent activities and goals:
- Listonforliberty.org is up and running
- The campaign is ready to accept donations. Anything will help. You can donate through PayPal on the campaign website.
- The Amazon Affiliate store is up and running. You can view it here at the bottom of the page. Proceeds from the sales of books and DVDs made through the store go to the campaign.
- Summit LP has been networking and meeting with local politicians and activists whom are sympathetic to our lean government stance.
- Summit LP is attempting to be at every event in the area that is related to our cause. (which is pretty broad).
- Some initial media contacts have been made. We did get a mention in the Beacon Journal
There are many, many things that we are working on though:
- We need money. It’s as simple as that. Signs, pamphlets, magnets, posters, election time calls, postage.. it all costs money. To that end any donation is appreciated.
- In relation to the above point; we are looking to do a few fundraisers. Any time or location donations would be great! Please contact us with any ideas.
- We need people! Volunteers to help us canvas the town, conduct fundraisers, attend events with campaign paraphernalia.
- We are making Youtube videos. Hopefully, lots of Youtube videos. We may need some people to assist in this as well. So if you think you are photogenic, or have a great voice, or are a screen writer, here’s that chance for your big break. Who knows, it might go viral.
- ichooseliston.org is in the final stages of production. This site will provide an easy way to get a summarized run down of our positions.
- Filing of bylaws. We will soon become an official and somewhat autonomous political party for Summit County.
- We need more candidates. We need more activists. Anyone in Summit County or the surrounding area is welcome to inquire. The more third party candidates there are, the better. We are not the fringe, we are the future! So if you are tired of the same old politics of choosing between the lesser of two evils.. do something about it! Consider this your Invitation.
- Most of all we are interested in listening to people, and getting input into how you feel things could be done better, and what you don’t like. We cannot guarantee we will agree, but conversation is always welcome. We believe there are ways to work through our issues, while adhering to the frame-work of liberty and responsibility.
- We would love to come speak at your event. Let us know how we can help. I know we are asking a lot from you, but it’s a two way street.
Sometimes the task before us can seem overwhelming. It is unprecedented, that’s for sure. But, when given the current situations, we truly believe we are offering a win-win solution. The best of both worlds if you will. Personal freedom and fiscal responsibility. If the current political system had the answers, we would have no need to even exist, and could go about our lives. That is not the case though. There has never been a better time to get involved. We are not changing the system so much as taking ownership of the system. The people are responsible for letting it get the way it is, and only the people can get it to where it needs to be. It’s time to stop merely paying lip-service to individual rights and freedom, and go out there are and reclaim what has belonged to each and every one of us all along!
