[Lnc-business] Enough pussyfooting. Time for a fearless platform.

[Arvin Vohra]

If 2016 showed us one thing, it's that timid positions are neither
necessary nor effective in current politics.

Our current platform is designed to technically be accurate, while not
scaring anyone too badly. This is a losing proposition. A clear, inspiring,
and immediately comprehensible platform is far better than the fine-print
pretending to be marketing we have now.

Take the education plank, for example:

Education is best provided by the free market, achieving greater quality,
accountability and efficiency with more diversity of choice. Recognizing
that the education of children is a parental responsibility, we would
restore authority to parents to determine the education of their children,
without interference from government. Parents should have control of and
responsibility for all funds expended for their children’s education.


What it means: Eliminate all public schools. Let people choose between
free, world-class, online offerings, homeschooling, and private education
in any form.

Intransigent supporters of public schools won't be fooled by the current
obfuscation. Opponents and potential opponents won't be inspired.

Our job is to convince people of our positions, not to mask our positions
and pander. In order for people to be able to be convinced of our
positions, they first must understand what the position is.

I intend to support people for platform committee who will commit to an
honest, comprehensible, fearless platform.

In Liberty,

Arvin Vohra
Vice Chair
Libertarian National Committee
