If we want Liberty we are going to have to fight for it. We are not going to get it from the Republicrats or the Democritans. If this country is going to thrive as it once did we are going to have to consider our other presidential options. If we continue to elect presidents from either of the "major" parties we are going to continue to get essentially the same thing. Both support the war in Iraq, the Patriot act, the war on drugs, and many other unconstitutional political endeavors that harm our country.

The biggest threat of all comes from the dropping value of the American dollar resulting from massive deficit spending and the printing of money that is backed only by trillions of dollars in debt.

Hard times are going to come if we don't do something to radically change the direction that either of big parties are going to bring us.

We must vote Libertarian. We have to fight for ballot access for third parties and demand that they be allowed to participate in the debates.

It is an atrocity that Michael Badnarik of the Libertarian Party was arrested for attempting to access and participate in the presidential debates on October 8th in St. Louis, Mo.

If that had been covered by the media it would have most likely been the first time that you heard or saw his name although he campaigned for over two and a half years. Now you are probably aware that he and David Cobb of the Green Party are responsible for demanding this recount. Not because it could possibly change the outcome for them but because they have principles. They rallied together to pay for the recount while Kerry continues to sit on millions of dollars of unspent campaign money. Kerry hasn't even had the decency to make a public appearance offerring an explanation to the millions of people that supported him why HE isn't doing what HE promised and making sure that every vote would count.

My two cents....
