Your actions impact the time and treasures of others. I am no shrinking violent. I am a hardline Libertarian. Yet I manage to realize that my public position obligates me to a certain responsibility to my constituents, my peers, and liberty herself and make a concerted effort to communicate our principles in a way that strives for excellence, respect, decorum, empathy, and teamwork. If I wanted to be a lone wolf provocateur, I would take a different path as people (your peers and mine) are not merely a means to an end. There is a role in the movement for those voices. I dispute whether that role is as a public voice of the Party— I certainly did not vote for that.</span></p>
