WASHINGTON, D.C. - "Libertarians are getting ready for the mainstream, and mainstream America may finally be ready for them."
The concluding line in an article read by thousands on TIME.com and in their print publication shows the progress the Libertarian Party is making this year.
Third Party Watch calls this the best article ever written by a mainstream publication on the Libertarian Party's growth and movement.
The central goal of Libertarianism is hard to disagree with: freedom. Defining it is another matter. Party members I've met often speak of freedom as if it were a phantom limb: you're born with it, but it gets taken from you by the bureaucratic violence of the EPA, the ATF, the DOE, the DEA, the U.N., NCLB, NAFTA and--above all--the IRS. Freedom's restoration is the magic moment when the nanny state melts away and you can see the life you were supposed to live before the tax auditors and environmental regulators and drug warriors all came to rope, brand and pen you in for life with their endless rulemaking and intrusions.
The article continues to highlight the movement in Nevada and the growing interest of the LP in the West. But, Indiana has long been a leader among states in the Libertarian movement and stands to move the party further ahead with star candidates this year including Rex Bell, Steve Keltner, Ed Angleton, Eric Schansberg, KP Nfr and Ryan Liedtky.
