"Prohibition...goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which out government was founded." -Abraham Lincoln

This country is a one-party country. Half of it is called Republican and
half is called Democrat. It doesn't make any difference. All the really
good ideas belong to the Libertarians. – Hugh Downs (1997)

Hey Guys, What do you think about a watch party Nov 2...it would be more fun if we had one big one and invited all the
candidates and friends and family. Please provide your input and
feedback on this idea.

Every Thursday the UNT Young Americans for Liberty have meetings at 5:00pm in
Wooten Hall 117. If there is any way yourself, or someone in the Denton
County LP, might be able to sponsor some food and drinks that would be
awesome.

On Juneteenth, we reached out to the African-American community to let them know that there IS another choice: Liberty. To add to the fun, we were right next to the Democrats booth and we were drawing more visitors than they were.

All of you Debra Medina supporters: You now have a candidate that you can believe in. Kathie Youngblood Glass is the Libertarian nominee for Governor of the State of Texas. It's a three-way race and 34% will take it. So all of you Republicans and Democrats who believe in liberty rather than big government: Join us.... You're going to like what Kathie has to say.

Looking forward to seeing everybody at the LIbertarian Party of Texas State Convention this weekend in Austin! If you haven't registered, here is the info:

Texas State Convention | Libertarian Party of Texas The Libertarian Party of Texas, third largest political party in the Lone Star State, is fiscally conservative and socially tolerant. We want to create a better economy and protect liberty by cutting taxes and reducing the size and scope of government.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. "Ben Franklin
Considering that Prop 14 passed in California yesterday, it appears that the lamb was not well enough armed. If this stands, and especially if it spreads, it will be the end of opposition parties in the U.S. We will move from the charade of two parties to the unabashed tyranny of one.

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit su***de. – John Adams (1814)

Seems to ring true these days, huh?

The Trees by Rush
The trouble with the maples, and they're quite convinced they're right, they say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light.
So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy; We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression, for they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal, by hatchet, axe, and saw.

In America, we're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Life, liberty, and property can't be taken from you unless you're convicted of a crime. But as John Stossel writes, thanks to asset forfeiture laws the police can seize the property of innocent people. Read about it here: http://reason.com/archives/2010/05/20/confiscating-your-property
