I’ll be riding down to Arkansas, after I get set up down there I’ll see how my time and internet access goes, but in the meantime the thread is here for both the detratctors and defenders to use, so please feel free to invite anyone you think will shed light on the subject.

Fortunately, there are still people within the libertarian movement that care more about spreading ideas (defined as “education” by pragmatists) than compromising principles in an attempt to win unwinnable elections (defined as “doing real politics” by pragmatists).

That is unless there is another agenda at play – ideological, money, etc.

When people ask for my support (money) and yet seek to avoid transparency by providing little to no information about their organization, I tend to be skeptical.

Is it the intention of Atlas! PAC to replace the LP’s LLS? What mysterious location in Washington, DC did Atlas! PAC send the unnamed libertarians for training?

The LP’s LLS may already be defunct for all I know and Atlas! PAC may be just the ticket, but openess, honesty and transparency would serve them well in gaining more support.

Maybe my computer is defective.

Hmmm?

*sigh*.

If you would like to change some of its direction as expressed by the choice of groups on the resources page, I would encourage you to get involved, and we are not so far apart that change from within is impossible.

It’s a damn shame when those who understand changes that need to be made in the LP abandon it, thus making those changes less likely by their absence.

There you may (or may not) find an extensive and detailed explanation about what Atlas! PAC is all about. Be sure to check out the resources page where you can find handy links to the American Enterprise Institute and the Manhattan Institute.

You won’t find out the identity of the mysterious “influential national political figure” mentioned in Mr. Rutherford’s message. I’m wondering who this could be and what the results of this high-level meeting were.

Two names associated with the Atlanta area come to mind – Bob Barr and Neal Boortz.

I’m also wondering who the four libertarians are that have already been sent to Washington for training. This is too much intrigue for me.
