Libertarians Serving in Government
|
A Loyal Opposition for Smaller Government
|
By Chris Spangle, Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of
IndianaIndianapolis City-County Councilor Ed Coleman left the Republican party a year ago last week. Coleman is at-large, and represents a million people. The
conventional wisdom in politics is when Libertarians serve in government they are such a
minority, that achieving anything is like tilting at windmills. Indianapolis Republican
blogger Paul Ogden notes some of the issues that Libertarians have stood
against. Read the article here.
This bird's eye view from a member of another party shows the
effectiveness that a third party can have raising issues in a
high-profile, evenly divided political climate. It only takes one
Libertarian to gum up the works of "bipartisanship."
While the Republican Party continues to check the polls to find out
what's popular or not, the Libertarian Party will continue to stand firm
on the principles of smaller government and personal responsibility. If
we don't, who will? |
