Tea Party

Libertarians are generally people who don’t follow in lockstep and aren’t blinded by groupthink or the cult of personality. Trying to bring libertarians (or freedom lovers, if you prefer) to a ‘general consensus’ on nearly anything has been compared to “herding cats”. I can imagine that some may see the following gripe as ”attacking the good work of Dr. Paul’. Nonsense.

Paul is the best person we have in Congress, and I’ve supported him for years, and supported his run for president. Matter of fact, my dad received Dr. Paul’s newsletters when I was a kid.

I don’t remember the liberty committee newsletters, though, as being such a constant desperate, near-apocalyptic plea for caSh caSh caSh.which the Campaign for Liberty sends regularly.

Dr. Paul recieved the largest one day donation amount in history when he was running for presdient, before the “Campaign for liberty’ was formed.

Is there anyone who reads John Tate’s several page screeds anymore when they are sent in the mail? A word of advice, he could save the C4L massive “vital funds” if he would simply cut the repetitive begging every newsletter. Focus more on cogent, brief newsletters outlining liberty issues instead of constant begging for funds. This has turned into an infomercial.

The 317 Congressional cosponsors were not paid a red dime for their sponsorship of the Audit the Fed bill, and Paul supporters don’t need to give a group money in order to pressure their congressman or senator.

Now I am sure there will be some cranks who claim how “DARE I even consider utterring a whisper of criticism of our flawless leadership”. Ha. Whatever. The truth is that most of these 4-5 page rambling letters sent out by tate are tossed in the trash without being read, even by those who originally asked to received them.

Here is a small excerpt from the latest one, with an intro from Dr. Paul:

Please read the enclosed letter from Campaign for Liberty’s President, John Tate.John and Campaign for Liberty need your advice and your help as we head into 2010. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read this letter and to continue the fight alongside me and Campaign for Liberty. In Liberty, Congressman Ron Paul
Tate: “…..And I’m writing you today because it’s vital that as Campaign for Liberty goes forward, we receive your advice on C4L’s Confidential Member’s Directive…But the truth is, there are so many battles to fight right now, we’re being stretched thin at the most crucial time. So today, I regret to inform you — with all the critical battles we’re facing right now — without an IMMEDIATE influx of funds, I’m going to have to start cutting some of our most vital programs….But, believe me, there’s no easy choice… Without an IMMEDIATE and massive influx of funds… Sincerely, John Tate President. P.S. … Without an influx of funds, your Campaign for Liberty is going to be forced to make devastating cuts (enter dramatic apocalyptic music here)
