After Ron Paul: Come Here, Maybe?

I'll be graduating college in 1.5 years. I've always been really really interested in the FSP. But here's my main question: will our voting block be enough to effect change? Just wondering.

It has already change votes over and over again in Grafton, NH. The idea isn't to be a voter, though. It is to be much more than a voter. Be a candidate, manage a pro-liberty candidates campaign, be on the board of a pro-liberty organization, create a pro-liberty organization, be part of the production team of a pro-liberty TV show, be a pro-liberty writer for an already existing newspaper, write pro-liberty LTE and so on. Find what works for you and do it but just voting is thinking too small.

Laws were passed because pro-liberty legislatures wrote the bills, spoke about the bills, found the votes for the bills and made sure the bills passed. A man had 18 marijuana plants but because we were able to change the law, jury nullification was mentioned by the judge. The jury, lead by a FSPer, found the man not guilty.

IMO, the biggest difference made by FSPers is helping cut the NH state budget by more than 10%. Without some FSPer voting for Speaker O'Brien to be the Speaker of the NH House, he wouldn't have won the election. Without him as Speaker, the budget wouldn't have been cut by that much. Who knows the exact amount it would have been cut by, maybe 2%, maybe 5%. My guess it was cut by at least double what it would have been cut by. So, we saved the tax payers of NH at least $500,000,000. Withouth FSPers, that wouldn't have happened.

...ok that's just awesome. Can we go straight up nullification in this biz? Will NH = Athens and US = Persia?

Here is the story. It continues to develop.

My avatar has a much deeper meaning than that. I chose it to symbolize Obama, having the image of one of the worst constitutional violators holding a boom box, it employs some stereotypical collectivism that the left loves to use so much. And as far as my comment, I was paraphrasing Davy Crockett when he said, "You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas."

Obviously all of that shot clear over all of your heads.

I suggest you don't voice that opinion to any non-libertarian voter. Given Lincoln's popularity it wouldn't go very very well.

I support what the FSP is doing but I just do not want to live in that part of the country. I belong in the wild west.
