That ties in nicely with our needed effort to put a human face and 
emotion into libertarianism. The C4L/S4L/YAL set does a much better job 
than we do.

I like what I'm seeing with more humanitarian and charitable work by 
Libertarian groups. More of that would go a long way to improve our 
image in the media and general public. It's very simple to do.

The last piece of advice offered at the session was to simply take the 
first step and go into the communities we do not normally interact with 
and start the conversation. We stand with them on so many issues. Most 
people have never met a Libertarian. There are opportunities for us, but 
we have to take action or they'll just pass us by.
