				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now some American cities are seeing raucous protests by government dependents angry and increasingly violent over the fact free-spending politicians have run out of other people&#8217;s money.</p>
<p>And your community may be next.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s only way to stop the explosion of government spending, and the destructive rampages that follow when governments spend themselves into bankruptcy&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;we must begin electing more Libertarians.</p>
<p>No community is immune from the threat posed by big spending.</p>
<p>By many measures, Loudoun County, Virginia is the wealthiest community in the United States. Located outside suburban Washington, D.C., Loudoun is home to ambassadors, senior government officials, millionaire CEOs, wine vintners and equestrian enthusiasts.</p>
<p>But even this millionaire’s playground is going bankrupt.  Despite years of steadily rising tax bills, Loudoun politicians can’t keep up with their own appetite for spending.</p>
<p>The wealthiest county in the United State faces a $192 million dollar government budget deficit.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s fueled by a government employee retirement system, which gives even part-time political appointees a full, plush retirement package with no contribution from the employee.</p>
<p>Despite facing fiscal destruction and the loss of its high bond rating over its out-of-control spending, the Board narrowly voted to continue its pig-out spending.</p>
<p>And Loudoun is only one example of thousands of city councils, county commissions and state legislatures that, even facing default, narrowly vote to continue spending their citizens into oblivion.</p>
<p>Just imagine what one Libertarian on one of those bodies would do to tilt the balance and save citizens from bankruptcy.</p>
<p><strong><em>That&#8217;s why we created the Libertarian National Campaign Committee.</em></strong></p>
<p>If simply being right was all you needed to win an election, Libertarians would have won long ago.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s not.</p>
<p>You must know how to communicate effectively, target the right voters, raise money and get out the vote.</p>
<p>Your support of the Libertarian National Campaign Committee gives our Libertarian candidates the training, information, technology and support they need to win.</p>
<p>Thank you for supporting the Libertarian National Campaign Committee.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve seen the terrible price of Big Government in cities like London and Athens.</p>
<p>Now we&#8217;re beginning to see it here in the United States.</p>
<p>Just one Libertarian elected to the city council or county commission is all it would take to turn off the spending spigot in many of our communities.</p>
<p>With your help, we can begin to take back our country and bring fiscal sanity back to our communities.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Libertarianism has been touted as the wave of America&#8217;s political future for many years, generally with more enthusiasm than evidence. But there are some tangible signs that Americans&#8217; attitudes are in fact moving in that direction,&#8221; writes The New York Times&#8217; Nate Silver.</p>
<p>Silver is a highly respected statistician and political analyst.</p>
<p>Since 1993, CNN has conducted an annual poll of Americans&#8217; political views asking two questions: &#8220;Some people think the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses. Others think that government should do more to solve our country&#8217;s problems. Which comes closer to your own view?&#8221; and &#8220;Some people think the government should promote traditional values in our society. Others think the government should not favor any particular set of values. Which comes closer to your own view?&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_343" style="width: 392px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/20/poll-finds-a-shift-toward-more-libertarian-views/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-343   " title="cnn-poll" src="http://96.45.125.72/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/cnn-poll.jpg" alt="" width="382" height="342" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Courtesy: The New York Times</p></div>
<p>This year CNN finds 63 percent of respondents agree &#8220;government is trying to do too many things.&#8221;  That figure is an increase from the 61 percent who agreed in in 2010 and the 52 percent who agreed in 2008.</p>
<p>50 percent agree &#8220;government should not favor any particular set of values.&#8221; That figure is an increase from the 44 percent who agreed in 2010 and 41 percent in 2008.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was the first time that answer won a plurality in CNN&#8217;s poll,&#8221; Silver reports.</p>
<p>The CNN poll is just the latest to find Libertarians, not Republicans or Democrats, are the growing, mainstream party.</p>
<p>&#8220;(T)here have been visible shifts in public opinion on a number of issues, ranging from increasing tolerance for same-sex marriage and marijuana legalization on the one hand, to the skepticism over stimulus packages and the health-care overhaul on the other hand, that can be interpreted as a move toward more libertarian views,&#8221; Silver reports.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The question is, will Libertarians give LP candidates the support they need to reach out to these voters? &#8220;45 percent of likely U.S. voters say the gap between Americans ‘who want to govern themselves&#8217; and ‘politicians who want to rule over them&#8217; is as great now as it was during the American Revolution&#8221; &#8220;65 percent [&#8230;]]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The question is, will Libertarians give LP candidates the support they need to reach out to these voters?</p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;45 percent of likely U.S. voters say the gap between Americans ‘who want to govern themselves&#8217; and ‘politicians who want to rule over them&#8217; is as great now as it was during the American Revolution&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;65 percent of Republicans and 47 percent of unaffiliated voters agree&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;84 percent of tea party members also agree&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;40 percent overall disagree&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;56 percent of Democrats disagree with the idea of a gap between citizens and politicians&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>[Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted June 9, reported by The Washington Times' Jennifer Harper.]</em></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;49 percent of likely voters say the U.S. should remove troops from Western Europe and ‘let Europeans defend themselves.&#8217;&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>[Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted June 12 &amp; 13, reported by The Washington Times' Jennifer Harper]</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;63 percent sat failure to significantly cut spending is more dangerous than a default; 28 percent disagree.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;56 percent see more short-term economic danger in failing to ‘significantly&#8217; cut federal spending than a government default.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>[Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted June 16, reported by The Washington Times' Jennifer Harper]</em></p>
<p>Shouldn&#8217;t these voters come home to the Libertarian Party?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what the LNCC is for.  The LNCC is the only organization completely dedicated to giving Libertarian candidates the training, technology, support and materials they need to reach out to voters and build a winning Election Day coalition.</p>
