[TD="class: mcnTextContent"]A month ago, John McAfee determined that we are going to do better.

--
A presidential campaign will come and go. The legacy we leave behind is what's important. Are you better off now than you were four years ago? The American people are ready for disruption, so how can we be their compelling alternative to the status quo?On the campaign trail, John met hundreds of candidates, party volunteers, and leaders. These passionate multi-generational activists have poured themselves into growing the Party. While some are satisfied with Party successes, too many feel frustrated. This is our time, and we will do better.
It doesn’t need to be this way. The Libertarian Party can and should rapidly become a revolutionary, disruptive organization to compete nationally. We must leverage all of this energy, passion, technological expertise, and leadership to scale our infrastructure, improve communication, and win campaigns.
To achieve victories, we have to do something different to get something different.
Let’s raise the bar by bringing innovative startup spirit and entrepreneurial savvy to campaigns and messaging. Let’s think beyond Presidents. Let’s scale by innovating and leveraging the very tools lean startups use to save precious time and money.
Our volunteer team attracts talented smart resourceful passionate professional volunteers ready and willing to execute.
John asked Team McAfee to get to work

Last month, we soft launched Phase I: the #VoteDifferent engine. We had a blast creating the first candidate database where voters can search for Libertarians running for office. Thanks to dozens of record corrections submitted by candidates, it’s now the largest and most accurate.
Thrilled by the response, we launched Phase II, our national survey. Candid conversations with the first 120 respondents helped us prioritize the tree of resources for Libertarians, by Libertarians.
Once we’re done, volunteer data analysts (under NDA) will quantify your input. Don't answer anything you don't want to; we're most interested in your experience in activism.

We will then share top-level results of your feedback with all participants, including state leaders, to start a conversation followed by action. Phase III will house the most urgent tools, resources, and training materials we will work together to develop. Accessible to anyone, anywhere.
Our Vote Different Initiative is now live and we need your help.

Candidates, please review the #VoteDifferent Engine below and correct your entry if needed. Members, take the national survey to help our team understand how we can best empower and support our fellow Libertarians now. Anyone reading this, if you want to lend a hand or have a special skill you’re willing to share with others, volunteer with us.
We can also help you with a website if you're a candidate running for office. The first 10 people to sign up at our will be contacted by our team.
John McAfee will not quit the Libertarian Party. John McAfee doesn’t quit. We may not have a bunch of money to spend. But we know how to get more out of the resources we do have, and to work smarter for better solutions. Leaders make that happen. And we are not going anywhere.

We are all here because we love liberty. Together, we will be unstoppable.[/TD]

Nobody else found this interesting?

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

Wasn't there another topic on this already ? Correct me if I'm wrong.

And yeah, it's interesting although I don't really know what to say about it, so I haven't said anything on it so far.

 

[CPUd]

If they have a web API, I could use it for a related project.

What is your project?

What is your project?

It involves data mining to find the best places to run a candidate. Mostly small towns and state legislatures.

Sounds like a great idea, you might contact Weiss or McAfee and see if they can't help you. They have a volunteer form that you might fit into as well.

 

[younglibertarian]

Seems interesting. I like the focus on local libertarian candidates.

"A diverse volunteer team of professionals, activists, students, and techno-libertarians has rallied to the banner and resolved to make a difference. Based on initial feedback from you, we are preparing to roll out the first suite of meaningful tools. We are genuinely dedicated to developing long-term relationships with fellow activists, candidates, and leaders working on the ground to help even more.

If we do not like our current choices, let's build new opportunities. Help our team understand how we can best empower and support our fellow Libertarians now. "

Mission Statement

The Libertarian Party is the fastest growing political party in the United States thanks to the millions of dollars and hours expended by multi-generational activists and leaders. You have built this machine for liberty and now we, The People, will finally come home with your support.

In 2016 and beyond we all have an opportunity, the gravity of which cannot be prematurely judged or sacrificed at the altar of the status quo. Elements of libertarianism can be traced as far back as the 6th century Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu and we derive our western tradition from the likes of John Locke.

We are an ancient philosophy, a timeless answer to the advancing brutal states, petty tyrants, and unfathomable restrictions on personal freedom that are brutally destroying humanity's potential. This is not fear mongering. This is real.

We have no time to waste, nor should we ever settle. We must instead cultivate energy, passion, innovation, eccentricity, originality, love, compassion, technological expertise, and leadership.

Ron Paul ignited a modern R(EVOL)ution. This is undeniable.

In the last two decades, many organizations have been formed to lead the charge for human liberty in organized, meaningful ways. But non-profits do not control ballot lines. The only organization in the liberty movement that can translate our principles into public policy at the ballot box is the Libertarian Party.

The Libertarian Party has fought for ballot access in all 50 states for decades and we will continue to change history if we're ready to join up and vote free.

As a leader, activist, candidate, or member of your local or state party, you have valuable insight.

A diverse volunteer team of professionals, activists, students, and techno-libertarians has rallied to the banner and resolved to make a difference. Based on initial feedback from you, we are preparing to roll out the first suite of meaningful tools. We are genuinely dedicated to developing long-term relationships with fellow activists, candidates, and leaders working on the ground to help even more.

If we do not like our current choices, let's build new opportunities. Help our team understand how we can best empower and support our fellow Libertarians now.

Thank you for caring.
