I Will Not Compromise - An Open Letter to libertarians

by Christine Smith, Libertarian candidate for president

“Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another–too often ending in the loss of both.”Tryon Edwards (American Theologian, 1809-1894)

For the past decade, I have been trying to understand the universe and our interaction with it. I suspect that this is the goal of any concerned citizen who believes that we have the power to change the status quo and shape our own destiny.

Here are some of the resources that have aided me in my personal path to enlightenment. I firmly believe that whoever watches and listens to these materials (and who is willing to let go of the need to be right) will have similar experiences.

It's time to get scared- very scared. Big government has run wild- and is trampling the rights of the American people (and parents). If the following story doesn't scare you- you deserve Big Brother as your master. And it's only going to get worse. The morality police are turning our country into a Nanny State. These government bureaucrats (most of whom couldn't get hired in the private sector) actually believe they know better than you or me about how to live our lives, educate and raise our children, and let's not forget the biggest one of all- how to indoctrinate our children (a nice way of saying BRAINWASH our children). Big Brother wants to control what women do with their own bodies; determine what Americans can do in the privacy of our own bedrooms; tell all of us what we are allowed to do on our own computers (Internet freedom); how and when we die (the Terri Schiavo government intrusion); they want to re-create Prohibition (by banning online gaming and poker); arrest us for using medicinal marijuana with a doctor's prescription (even in a state like California where it has been legalized by the voters); tell us what we can put into our own bodies (ban smoking, Trans Fats and Foie Gras- even in privately owned restaurants); banish guns from our own private homes (in violation of the constitution); and force us to immunize our school-age children- by threatening to banish them from the classroom. The list of restrictions on our liberties goes on and on.

This weekend I heard about the most ominous government intrusion yet- in Prince George County, Maryland, where school officials playing Big Brother have ordered parents to vaccinate their school-aged children, or the parents will be IMPRISONED. Yes I said imprisoned. Let's pause for a second, take a deep breath, and reflect on the quagmire called the public school system. First of all, our public schools are failing miserably compared to any other industrialized country in the world. Children are dropping out of high school in record numbers; and even those that pass high school are often promoted only due to grade inflation. Drugs and violence are rampant within public schools. Cases of teachers molesting and sexually assaulting under-age children seem to be in the headlines on a daily basis. Our children are far behind in math and science versus high school graduates from other countries. Public teacher unions demand raises and increased spending as a reward for horrible performance- and refuse any form of accountability or pay based on merit. And worst of all, powerful teachers unions hold our children hostage by refusing to allow competition. They will not allow a level playing field- by refusing to allow vouchers or parental choice (so that parents in even the worst schools in the country are denied the opportunity to choose private school, religious school, or home-schooling).

Meeting Michael Cloud

I was happy when I learned that Michael Cloud would be the Keynote Speaker at Saturday’s dinner at the Illinois LP Convention.

Having read (and finding much value in re-reading) his excellent book, “Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion,” and having listened to his recorded tapes “The Essence of Political Persuasion,” I was very interested in hearing him speak in person and having the opportunity to finally meet him.

In Conclusion–The Illinois LP Convention was the happiest LP convention I have attended. It was also another victory in regards to my speech and debate performance based upon the numerous emails/calls and support I have received from Illinois Libertarians.

The speech I gave was very well received, and the forum between candidates gave me a perfect opportunity to share with them my strong Libertarian platform and for them to see how well I can communicate that platform. (Even before I left Illinois, many people came to me expressing it was their opinion I had clearly “won the debate” and upon my return to Colorado I have received numerous emails from Illinois Libertarians telling me the same.)
