Libertarian Party of Indiana's Weekly Podcast - Hamilton County Edition
Friday, June 12, 2009
I was recently interviewed for the Libertarian Party of Indiana's Weekly Podcast to talk about my plans for growing the Hamilton County LP.
LPIN Executive Director Chris Spangle is a radio pro, a former producer at Indy's WXNT for the Abdul in the Morning show. I answered Chris' questions about my plans, and the challenges in reaching voters in a traditionally Republican county, and one that is split between the highly developed suburban landscape of Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville, and the rural and small towns of Sheridan, Atlanta, and Strawtown.
Here's the spoiler: The goal is a full ballot for 2010. The plan is to continue to recruit qualified candidates, but especially disaffected small business owners. We will also begin to work at the precinct level to build our base.
You can hear the entire interview by following this link to the podcast archive.
You can also subscribe to get every podcast episode downloaded to your iTunes or other service. Follow this link to subscribe. All 30 podcasts are available!
It was fun to be interviewed. Certainly, it was a turning of the tables, as I am the regular host of the Podcast. Many thanks to Chris Spangle for being the guest host!

Our group is a good one, and is growing! We had Barley Island ask us to let us know when we meet, so they can have a server just for us.

Libertarian Party's Prosperity Plan
Saturday, May 30, 2009
The Bush & Obama Administrations have brought us false stimulus and offensive bailouts. So, what is the Libertarian Party's alternative? Its' 3-point Prosperity Plan:
1) Repeal the income tax: Adopt legislation repealing the income tax and abolishing the Internal Revenue Service. Until the income tax is repealed, adopt legislation preserving the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts and enacting across-the-board income tax cuts.
2) Adopt the Balanced Budget Amendment: Adopt a constitutional amendment requiring the federal budget be balanced, and balanced exclusively by cutting expenditures, not by raising taxes.
3) Abolish corporate welfare and bailouts: Adopt federal legislation prohibiting any federal spending program that provides payments or unique benefits and advantages to specific companies or industries, terminating programs that provide direct grants to businesses, eliminating programs that provide research and other services for industries and ending programs that provide subsidized loans or insurance to businesses.
