In The Name Of Liberty

Hello America,

I would just like to take this time to officially declare my intention to run for President of the United States Libertarian Party. Several months ago, I returned to a country deep in the midsts of a Revolution. In the fires of that Revolution, the Libertarian Party of today was truly born, and began to live. Under the leadership of Iasov and the direction of Claire and CRoy, The Libertarian Party witnessed unprecedented growth during the Revolution and the months following. The Libertarian Party has risen above the Federalist, UIP, and S.E.E.S, to become the #2 Party in the country.

This party has a ton of potential. Few can match the activity and dedication that the Libertarians possess. It would be an honor to lead such a lively and committed party. I run for this position because there is no doubt in my mind that I can not only do the job, but do it well. If elected, I will provide a clearly defined leadership structure. One criticism I have for the last Administration, is the lack of a clearly defined structure of party leadership. This confuses the average party member and gives the impression of disorganization. In my opinion, there is nothing weaker than a disorganized party. Even giving the impression that we are indeed weak, could lead to our eventual downfall. I don't want to see this party fall. We simply have too much potential to let it all slip away.

Our Congressional election performance could have been executed far better. And for the second month, our candidate finished second place behind the USWP candidate. Last election, our candidate lost by a mere 30 votes. As things stand now, any candidate who hopes to win, must win the USWP primary. I don't know about you, but I find that fact to be pretty embarrassing for a country of some 19,000 citizens with at least 5 viable political parties. I plan to change this status quo, with the help of my fellow Party Presidents. The USWP should not be the only road to power in this country.

In the coming days, I will release my proposed Cabinet and expand upon my platform.
