[Lnc-business] The Lament of the Not Rich Enough

[Marc Allan Feldman]

Wrong strategy.  Wrong message. We cannot "sell freedom" because
freedom is not for sale.
Money is the major way our government and the other major corporations
maintain control over us.
Money only makes a difference in the campaign when there is no other
major difference between the candidates.
The key Libertarian difference is that we have principles and
integrity and do not sell these for money.
It would be a tragedy to compromise our principles just when the
public is beginning to hear and understand our message.

Dr. Marc Allan Feldman
Region 3 Representative, Libertarian National Committee
Libertarian candidate, President of the United States
