In previous years, the Libertarian Party of Indiana held a strategy meeting in every January of an election year. Chair Sam Goldstein has announced the restarting of this tradition on January 30th, 2010. All LPIN membership is encouraged to attend, and help set our goals for not only the 2010 election cycle, but the next two years. Long range planning is essential to success.
All those planning to run for office in 2010 should attend this meeting.

Everyone in this country is agreed on the landmark importance and symbolism of today’s Massachusetts special election for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the late Ted Kennedy. There are two candidates in this race whose starkly contrasting views tell the entire story:

Dear Friend of Liberty,
The Advocates for Self-Government recently made this very generous offer:
FREE OPH KITS FOR LIBERTARIAN STUDENT GROUPS: We’re giving our acclaimed OPH (Operation Politically Homeless) outreach kits to libertarian student groups FREE — if they simply promise to use them a minimum of three times a year and send us photos documenting their OPH activity. OPH — praised as the best recruiting tool in the libertarian movement — normally sells for $50.00. Contact us for information on getting your free OPH kit. Email: info@TheAdvocates.org
These kits feature the world-famous World’s Smallest Political Quiz. I think the World’s Smallest Political Quiz is by far the best marketing tool ever created to help Libertarians quickly explain the difference between Democrats (liberal), Republicans (conservative), and Libertarians.

Dear fellow Libertarian:
I hope you are having a great start to your new year!
I am writing you because I need your help. I serve as the chair of the 2010 Platform Committee and I need to know your opinions about our party’s platform.
Two years ago, based on survey feedback by thousands of you, the 2008 Platform Committee learned what type of platform you wanted. This critically important feedback helped us construct proposals to successfully rebuild our party platform in a new style – short, bold and outwardly focused, yet still in keeping with our core values.

Dear Friend of Liberty,
I resolve to persevere in the struggle for freedom that many Americans have undertaken tirelessly, and in some cases have given their lives for.
I resolve to vote for Libertarian candidates whenever I can.
I resolve to keep reminding people that every vote for a Libertarian makes a difference.
I resolve to thank Libertarians who amplify their voice for liberty by running for office.
I resolve to congratulate Libertarian candidates who win their races, and thank Libertarian candidates who did not win but helped to spread the Libertarian message and to lay the groundwork for future Libertarian wins.

Fill out the application for office at the right on lpin.org. If you’re on the sidelines in 2010, you’re electing Democrats and Republicans.)
