If you believe in liberty and freedom and rule of law. You need to be either running for office or supporting those who do. I know I am new here, and that many here are doing exactly this. So sorry to preach to the choir, but i still believe that many here would not run for office.
I recently have been considering getting into politics, I am not a great speaker, nor do I think I have any chance of getting elected. But by god I will run, and if a better man beats me, and he believes in liberty and freedom, then I will support him in every way that I can.
So those of you who think you cannot run or can't win, run anyways. it's not about winning or losing it's about giving the public a chance at freedom, and maybe someone will see in you those qualities which you don't even see in yourself. We spend our time thinking about who will be the next Ron Paul, when there are literally millions of Ron Pauls throughout the country.
It's your duty to run, we need to see liberty candidates in every race, at every corner. Win or lose, I will support each and every one of you, and I will even run myself and probably get sorely defeated, but it doesn't matter. And let me tell you I KNOW there are tons of people better suited for office than me.
I just think now is the time for the average American to try and make a difference. It's not a negative to run for office, we need to stop thinking like that, it's the best thing you can do for your country. Especially in these times, Libertarians need to be on the move, and we need leaders wherever they may be. Win, Lose, Succeed, Fail I will support you.
