An article in today's Charlotte Observer gave the dismal statistic of
12% of registered Libertarians actually voting in the Charlotte city
elections, compared to an overall turnout of 23%. That in an election
with a Libertarian candidate. If Libertarians can't be bothered to go
vote for a Libertarian when they have the chance, it is difficult for
us to make the case to other voters that voting for liberty is in
their best interest.

"Those who pretend they want to preserve freedom, while they are eager to fix
prices, wage rates, and interest rates at a level different from that of the
market, delude themselves. There is no other alternative to
totalitarian slavery
than liberty. There is no other planning for freedom and general
welfare than to
let the market system work. There is no other means to attain full employment,
rising real wage rates, and a high standard of living for the common man than
private initiative and free enterprise."
-Ludwig von Mises
Founder, Austrian School of Economics
March 30, 1945
