I know it has been a long time our store on Cafepress was updated, but I was recently regained access to it. While I was in there, I added a few products and...
"I believe that marriage is not the concern of the federal government. I oppose any effort to use the federal judiciary to make it into a federal issue....
Oh dear. This is quite simply not good enough for him to earn an endorsement, in my view. In fact, it's rather similar to John Kerry's position on gay...
To elucidate my earlier e-mail on why this is a total cop-out: 1) "It is my position that marriage is not the concern of the federal government" would be a...
Going to the linked web page is also horrifying, as we discover that: 1) He supports publicly funded mass transit and other big government projects, as long as...
Finally, to see just how out of the LP mainstream Bob Smither apparently is, contrast his platform with that of strong LP Colorado gubernatorial candidate Dawn...
Brian; I still think you are too hard on Smither. He is running in a very conservative district and must at least sound somewhat conservative to keep the...
He never replied to our questionnaire (he wasn't able to answer the questions while I spoke with him on the phone), so I'm guessing he's not interested in an...
I guess my thought is primarily that if we run candidates who equivocate or abandon Libertarian ideals in order to win in certain districts, we cannot then...
I'm not into litmus tests, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask a Lib to run as a Lib. I have a suspicion that if Smither is to run (and win), he'll be...
No, all the decisions are NOT made by the Chair, but he usually leaves it up to someone else in the ExCom to Make a Motion. Between Annual Business Meetings,...
Mike, et al; After what we have heard, does anyone want to give Smither our endorsement? If they do, they can always make a motion to that effect. No one is...
I should clarify. Members of the Executive Committee may make motions, and this should be done on the ExComm list (not this one). Mike Nelson is a member of...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the OutrightLibertarians group: Should OutrightUSA endorse Libertarian Bob Smither's campaing for US...

That is the question I want answered goofy. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OutrightLibertarians/surveys?id=2323820 _____ From:...
All this sounds similar to issues that brought me to the Libertarian party this year... Democratic Rep Ben Chandler-KY had all the gay people in Kentucky ...

... Actually, as our bylaws our currently written, I'm the weakest chairperson of any organization with which I am familiar. We have a very strong Executive...
I am very disappointed in this organization. The fact that Outright doesn't endorse candidates is one (ridiculous) thing, but all this bickering about ...
In a message dated 9/7/06 12:52:14 AM Eastern Daylight Time, ... Mike, Is there any reason to believe that Mr. Smither is interested in receiving endorsements...
Mike, Your question, "Whom do you [Outright Libertarians] support?" is relatively easy to answer. Here is my take on it: 1) Libertarian Party affiliation 2)...
Richard, Yea, I know. it doesn't matter if he can actually get elected to actually make a difference. all that matters is that he panders to your whims so that...
Mike, I'm undecided on whether this group should endorse Smithers, although I confess that the more I hear, the more I lean against it. I mean what practical...
OK, Mike, suppose Outright did endorse him and he went on to win election. Then what? We have a pro-war, anti-gay "Libertarian" in office and have blown all...
Brian and Mike; In my opinion, you BOTH need to back away from the fight language!!! You can be assertive without being belligerent. -Allan Wallace At 10:00 AM...
I think the key point, Mike, is that there's no difference between Smithers' position and most Republicans or Democrats in the south who pander to polls on the...
I want to burst a couple of cliches I've been reading a lot on related discussions. 1) "He cannot be pro-gay, or at least not anti-gay, he's in Texas."...
