The Libertarian Party of Georgia wholeheartedly endorses Bob Barr for President of the United States. But just because we’ve made our decision doesn’t mean we aren’t paying attention to what the other candidates are saying.
On July 2nd, Barack Obama repeated an earlier announcement that he would make bribery and the draft parts of his administration. |

Have Mercy! By James Bell
The recent arrest of Macon, Georgia radio talk show host, Shayne McBryde (WMAC News Talk 940) for possessing a small amount of cannabis in his home should light a fire under Georgia’s Gold Dome to decriminalize the personal and private possession of marijuana.

The Supreme Court of The United States today (6/26/08) decreed something that was obvious for the first 154 years of the country’s history: The Second Amendment recognizes an INDIVIDUAL right to keep and bear arms. In their decision on District Of Columbia v. Heller, the Supremes ruled 5 to 4 that Washington D.C.’s 32 year old handgun ban is unconstitutional. This is a huge victory for the Libertarian belief that we as individuals ultimately are responsible for our own safety and self-defense. It also reinforces the reasoning of The Founders who put the Second Amendment in to the Bill Of Rights: the government should not hold a monopoly on the means of lethal force; and only an armed citizenry can prevent even the most benevolent government from turning tyrannical.

Why do Libertarians think government is a problem rather than a solution? As residents in Benton Harbor, Michigan are finding out, it’s because government so frequently does not do what it says it will, or even what it is legally obligated to do.

The Libertarian National Convention has decided on the party's ticket. It took six ballots, but native son Bob Barr is the Libertarian candidate for President. The convention selected Wayne Allyn Root to complete the ticket as the Vice-Presidential candidate.
The Georgia delegation's vote was the same on all six ballots: 33 votes for Barr, and 2 votes for Dr. Mary Ruwart.
During his victory speech to the Convention, Barr singled out LPGa Chairman Daniel N. Adams for doing a dynamic job leading the Georgia party, and also for helping him secure the convention's nomination.
He's the Libertarian Party's OFFICIAL candidate now, so visit Bob Barr's campaign website at http://www.bobbarr2008.com. Donate your time or your money to make the Barr/Root ticket the LP's biggest since Ed Clark got 1.1% of the vote in 1980...or since John Hospers and Tonie Nathan were the last third-party candidates to receive an Electoral College vote back in 1972!
Your Libertarian Party of Georgia will support the official team of Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root to the best of our ability. Please increase that ability -- go to http://www.LPGeorgia.com/donate.html to join LPGa, or to renew or upgrade your membership, or to join the LPGeorgia Pledge Program. As Bob Barr reminded the Convention, there are only 163 days until the November election! So... join, renew, upgrade, pledge...do them NOW!
Those looking for the details and gossip about the Presidential nomination drama should check out the blog site of LPGa Legislative Director Jason Pye.
The Libertarian Party Of Georgia sends a big "Thank You" to the 35 delegates who made the trip to Denver to participate in the convention. Not only have they served Georgia Libertarians well, they are having a ton of fun! You can see some of what you missed when you stayed home this Memorial Day weekend by checking out C-SPAN's endless rebroadcasts of the Presidential debate and voting.
The next National convention will be in 2010. Start planning now to represent Georgia, and you'll have the time of your life! |

The last of three officers who lied to cover up the lies they told a judge to get the no-knock warrant they used to kill 88 year old Kathryn Johnston in 2006 has been convicted in Fulton County Superior Court. He was sentenced to 4.5 years in jail for making false statements about the incident. His two sidekicks pleaded guilty to manslaughter and other charges last year and will serve ten and twelve year prison terms.
None of this brings Kathryn Johnston back to life. None of this changes the insane war on drugs that has mutated into a war on the Constitution and the American people. |

Fourteen people are vying for the Libertarian nomination for Presidential candidate at the LNC convention this week. The Libertarian Party of Georgia's former Chairman, Garrett Michael Hayes, has posted interviews with perennial candidate George Phillies at his blog site, GMHforLiberty. For those who have never met Dr. Phillies at conventions or other Libertarian events, the interview is a fast introduction to his views, his background, and his personality. It's broken into four parts to make things easier on your computer or podplayer.
You also can hear earlier interviews with LP candidates Mary Ruwart, Mike Gravel, and Bob Barr at the site, at the Radio Show page. |
