THE PENDULUM SWINGS……
back and forth, back and forth. Throw the Republicans out, bring the Democrats in. Throw the Democrats out, bring the Republicans in. Less than two years ago, a very unpopular President Bush was deemed the cause for the sour mood of the country and the mistrust of the Republicans by the voters.
The election of President Obama, along with solid majorities in both the House and the Senate, was supposed to usher in a new era of “hope” and “change”. A little over a year after being inaugurated, Mr. Obama’s job approval ratings have plummeted, and a senate seat once held for nearly half a century by arguably the most famous liberal Democrat in U.S. history has swung over to the Republicans. Several prominent Democratic lawmakers (Dodd, Bayh) have announced their retirement, and all indications are the pendulum will be swinging back to the Republican side this fall.
The pendulum is broken. Both major parties are responsible for the bankrupting of our country and the erosion of our civil liberties. There is no difference between the two. Stop the pendulum. Think Libertarian. Vote Libertarian. Be Libertarian.
Call to Patriots

Your Choice for the Future
Recent Polls show many Americans feel a need for a third Party. The Libertarian Party is the third largest Political Party in this country.
Libertarians, as the name implies, value liberty. The core idea is that every person owns his or her life.
Libertarians believe that you are free to do as you choose, as long as you don't harm others.
Libertarians apply a common-sense approach to problem solving that respects and protects you and your family. For example:
- Reducing taxes dramatically would allow you to support the people and causes you value, rather than having politicians decide how to spend your money.
- Personalized solutions for education, healthcare, and retirement planning can more efficiently replace one-size-doesn't-fit-all big government programs.
- Nurturing American innovation would grow prosperity and spark real breakthroughs in areas such as new energy sources and clean environment solutions. Government bureaucracy and political meddling have the opposite effect.
- Bringing our troops home to protect America would bring us more security than an endless cycle of war and occupation.
