I think most of your points are very well taken. The Libertarian Party <b><i>has</i></b> often come across as too conservative in our messaging, even though the libertarian philosophy as you correctly point out does not inherently favor the wealthy and powerful. I strongly agree that we need to do more to speak out on behalf of the poor and the marginalized, and the issues which affect them, while recognizing that big business and the wealthy are often beneficiaries of government welfare and privilege and no friends to freedom. It pains me when our failure to adequately do this costs us the support of longtime committed libertarians like yourself who've been part of this endeavor for decades. I started the Grassroots Libertarians Caucus to address our left/right imbalance among other issues (see <a href="https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grassrootslibertarians/info">https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grassrootslibertarians/info</a>), and continue to fight for those values. The day after the Nov. 8 election, I started a petition to urge members of the Electoral College to reject Donald Trump which amassed over 8,000 signatures (<a href="https://www.change.org/p/the-538-members-of-the-u-s-electoral-college-electoral-college-members-please-save-us-from-donald-trump">https://www.change.org/p/the-538-members-of-the-u-s-electoral-college-electoral-college-members-please-save-us-from-donald-trump</a>), and I subsequently urged the Libertarian National Committee to support the recount efforts led by Jill Stein and the Green Party.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Sadly we did not do that, however I do think that our messaging at least at the national level (I can't keep up with what all the state and local Libertarian party affiliates and candidates are saying) has improved somewhat in recent years. Our 2016 presidential and VP candidates Gary Johnson and Bill Weld were repeatedly outspoken in criticizing Donald Trump, even while being arguably softer than warranted on Hillary Clinton. I think our current chair Nick Sarwark appreciates the need to be more balanced than we have been in the past in terms of appealing to the left at least as much as to the right, and that the press releases he and staff have put out this term generally reflect that. </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Among the LP's recent communications this year have been a strong statement of solidarity with American Muslims who are threatened by the new administration (<a href="https://www.lp.org/we_stand_with_you/">https://www.lp.org/we_stand_with_you/</a>), a defense of peaceful immigration (<a href="https://www.lp.org/the-libertarian-party-opposes-restrictions-on-peaceful-immigration/">https://www.lp.org/the-libertarian-party-opposes-restrictions-on-peaceful-immigration/</a>), a defense of sex work and free speech in the face of government pressure on adult advertising platform <a href="http://Backpage.com">Backpage.com</a> (<a href="https://www.lp.org/libertarian-party-accuses-senate-subcommittee-of-aiding-child-sex-traffickers/">https://www.lp.org/libertarian-party-accuses-senate-subcommittee-of-aiding-child-sex-traffickers/</a>), a rejection of Trump's nominee for attorney general, Jeff Sessions (<a href="https://www.lp.org/lp-warns-cut-sessions-short/">https://www.lp.org/lp-warns-cut-sessions-short/</a>), and a condemnation of the Republican secretary of state and state supreme court in Ohio as "bullies" on ballot access (<a href="https://www.lp.org/bullies-in-ohio/">https://www.lp.org/bullies-in-ohio/</a>).</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I don't want to give you the impression we agree on everything (what two libertarians do?). I confess that, in the spirit of giving credit where it is due, I just yesterday posted a message suggesting that the LP issue a press release commending the Trump administration's unprecedented freeze on issuing new regulations and executive order mandating two regs be eliminated for every new one enacted. But that does not mean for a minute that I think we should go easy on Trump, whom I consider psychologically unfit to be president and a clear and present danger in the Oval Office. I respectfully disagree with vice-chair Arvin Vohra (unless he has changed his stance since the press release you mention) in that I <b><i>am</i></b> ready to protest his administration now! I've joined a couple local #Resistance groups here in San Francisco, attended an anti-Trump event, written numerous critical messages and posts about him, and intend to do much more. And I know that many other Libertarians feel the same way as we do, that his temperament, authoritarian tendencies, and repeatedly expressed admiration for tyrants abroad, make him a potentially a greater threat to freedom than Barack Obama.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I am also an anthropogenic global warming theory skeptic, but this skepticism predates my tenure as an LNC representative and has nothing to do with what I think our donors may want. Indeed although David Koch, as you probably know, was the party's vice-presidential nominee way back in 1980, my understanding is that the Koch brothers have not been Libertarian Party donors for decades. My views on that subject also have more to do with seeking to protect the environment than with seeking to protect the fossil fuel industry – I am concerned that exaggerated fears about global warming over which humans have limited influence are diverting attention from the more serious environmental issues of habitat destruction and species extinction that demand our urgent attention. While public fears are disproportionately focused on a possible warming of a couple degrees over the next century and related concerns about polar bears and pipeline construction (by the way I do oppose the Dakota Access Pipeline for its reliance on eminent domain and violation of treaties with Indian tribes, I just don't see it as a major environmental issue), the areas of greatest biodiversity on the planet are endangered. Tropical rainforests are burning, species like tigers and elephants are being poached to extinction in the wild, and coral reefs dying due largely to destructive government policies that keep people in the parts of the world that contain these habitats poor, and fail to uphold the property rights and market mechanisms that are needed to effectively safeguard the world's natural heritage.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Regarding police abuse and mass incarceration and their disproportionate impact on minority communities, it's not true that we've entirely ignored these issues. For instance in a press release last July, Nick Sarwark wrote,</div><div><br></div><div><i>"The frustration in the black community is palpable, and frankly,
justified. When rogue cop after rogue cop gets off scot-free after using
excessive force and changes are not made, and consequences are not
felt, it causes this horrible tension we are feeling today." </i>(<a href="https://www.lp.org/libertarian-party-calls-for-an-end-to-all-violence/">https://www.lp.org/libertarian-party-calls-for-an-end-to-all-violence/</a>)</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>But you're right that we have too often been silent when it comes to the injustices associated with police and prisons in this country, and that we need to speak out about them louder and more frequently. We badly need voices like yours to remind and encourage us to do this, and hold our feet to the fire when we do not. The number of people involved in the LP is not so great that one person like yourself cannot make a critical difference. I often point out to Libertarians or prospective Libertarians who are unsure of whether it's worth putting their personal time and energy into the LP, that just a dozen additional delegates could have made the difference between having former Republican congressman Bob Barr (an apparent opportunist who subsequently went back to the GOP) as our presidential candidate in 2008, or Mary Ruwart, a hardcore libertarian who wrote "Healing Our World", a book that I consider one of the best in-depth resources for showing people on the left the compassionate and cooperative nature of our philosophy. Will you do your part as a movement elder to help give the Libertarian Party you helped birth more leaders who understand these issues?</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Writing to your national representatives is a good first step. You might be surprised how few LP members take the time to do this. I have copied your message along with my reply to the Libertarian National Committee list, so that the dozens of people subscribed to our reflector list or reading these messages online (available at <a href="http://hq.lp.org/pipermail/lnc-business_hq.lp.org/">http://hq.lp.org/pipermail/lnc-business_hq.lp.org/</a>) will be able to hear your concerns. Instead of abandoning the most pro-freedom party in the United States, of which you have long been a loyal member and activist, and increasing the likelihood of it becoming a "crabbed version of an alt.Republican Party" in your words, I urge you to join those of us who recognize this danger, roll up your sleeves and get to work! Please feel free to give me a call any time if you'd like to discuss more ideas on how to do this.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>And thank you again for caring, taking time to write, and your efforts in the struggle for freedom!</div><div><br></div><div>Love & Liberty,</div><div> ((( starchild )))</div><div>At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee</div><div> (415) 625-FREE</div><div> @StarchildSF</div><div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20948">I have been increasingly disappointed in the extent to which
the LP has mirrored the Republican agenda and their talking points. I understand that Libertarian positions are
distinct from Republican ones on several issues, but I am concerned that the LP
has put on blinders when it comes to seeing the change that is actually needed
in this country. The number of areas in
which the freedoms of citizens could be improved is countless but the focus of
the party seems to be primarily on those areas chosen by the Republicans for
their own agenda. (I am under no
illusions that the Republicans will actually do what they say they want to do,
but that is a separate issue. I am not
leaving the LP for the GOP – far from it).

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20951">The agenda of the Republican Party seems to be determined by
the two main elements of its base – the so-called social conservatives and the
business community. The LP has
successfully distinguished itself from the social conservatives, but due to its
own failings it has allowed itself to be perceived as just like the Republicans
“only more so” in every other respect. I
think it is indisputable that the Republican agenda, despite its rhetoric, is
not primarily a free market agenda but a large corporate business agenda. The public messaging of the LP does little to
counter the impression that the LP is “only more so.” </div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20954">I am not suggesting that the LP has abandoned its
principles. I am saying that the LP has
allowed its focus to change in ways detrimental to itself, to its ultimate
goals and to the American people. I
suspect that the reason for this is that while attempting to adhere to its
principles, it directs its focus to areas favored by its largest donors – and yes,
I am thinking of the Koch family when I say this. I appreciate the efforts the Kochs have made
to advancing ideas of liberty, but I am under no illusions that they are much
more self-interested than they are liberty-interested. My concern is that even while advocating
liberty for all, focusing efforts to increase liberty primarily in selected
arenas of society is actually anti-liberal.
I am sure you are familiar with the Anatole France quote: “<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20955">In its
majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges,
beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.”
The point for me is that even if the focus of the LP is exclusively on
increasing liberty, it cannot work to increase liberty just for some without also
working to create an unjust and illiberal society. Perhaps an extreme example of this principle
is the American South in the early history of our country. Many of our strongest early advocates for
liberty came from the South and yet they countenanced the most egregious abuses
of human liberty possible.<o:p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20956"></o:p></span></div>

addressed by the LP. I hear the LP
arguing for lower tax rates, for repealing the ACA (“Obamacare”), for repealing
laws adverse to alternate political parties, for reducing federal
regulations. I don’t hear much of anything from the LP, for example, on
climate change (other than hints that the LP may be a climate change denier,
and is at least skeptical to the point of pooh-poohing any problems). Whether you agree or not, a majority of the
American people sees climate change as a vital problem and wants to have it
addressed. This is a problem that can be
addressed using freedom principles but because these principles impose costs
on those contributing to the problem, most of the larger, corporate contributors
are opposed to them. The LP shouldn’t
be, though. And neither should it be
silent.<o:p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20962"></o:p></span></div>

or police shootings of unarmed blacks other than that drugs should be
legalized. Yes they should, but that is
not the sole or even a major cause of those two problems. If it was, there would not be a disproportion
in black versus white incarceration rates or lengths of prison sentences, just as there is not a disproportion in black
versus white users or distributors. Income
disparity in this country is not increasing so dramatically merely because of new
regulations imposed on small (or large) businesses, but you wouldn’t know it
from listening to the LP (or to the GOP).

benefits the large banks, the large corporations, and those who are well-established
in society. But libertarian principles
don’t favor them – they favor all people equally. While it may be mentioned in the fine print
somewhere, there is no outcry from the LP about laws and regulations that were
lobbied for and often written by large corporations and which benefit them
exclusively. Sure, these kinds of things
are obscure – deliberately so – but they are responsible for much of the lack
of freedom and opportunity in our country.
Everyone knows they are there.
Everyone knows the system is rigged.
And no one – certainly not the LP – seems particularly interested in fixing
that problem. <o:p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20980"></o:p></span></div>

to add that the LP’s response – or should I say non-response – to Donald Trump is
outrageous. “Not protesting Trump – yet”
written by the LP vice-chair is the only word from the LP I have seen on Trump
to date, and in it he compares Trump favorably to Obama – who WAS protested
frequently and often. If you cannot see already that Trump is a far worse disaster for liberty, for the constitution,
and for our country that Obama ever was, then I have no hope for the LP.<o:p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20992"></o:p></span></div>

vision and for being independent. Now it
seems to be nothing more than a crabbed version of an alt.Republican_Party,
scurrying about within the bounds set presumably by its donors. It should tell you something that after all
this time, it is still so hard for the public to distinguish “libertarian” from
“very conservative.” <o:p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485954828607_20998"></o:p></span></div>
