=A PERSONAL NOTE FROM YOUR CHAIRMAN AND YOUR EDITOR= | |||
It hardly seems possible that almost three years have passed since that first meeting of the [[Committee to Organize a Libertarian Party]] in Westminster... but they have. And rarely have three years been so busy. | |||
Looking back, it seems almost impossible that so much has been accomplished in so short a time. In only 34 months, the fledgling LP has grown to approximately 3,500 members--making it the third-largest "minority" party in the country, and tied with six-year-old SIL for largest libertarian activist organization in the world. | |||
We've sent out over 250,000 pieces of material (most popular: the recruiting brochure, which has sold 55,000 copies). In addition, our various state parties have distributed over one million pieces o[ literature. | |||
And it's all been fun. Through the LP, we've meet some of the nicest (and morally finest) people we've ever known. We've had a lot of exciting and memorable experiences we'll never forget. | |||
But, to be honest, we've kind of worn ourselves out. Ninety-eight pages of LP NEWS, hundreds of phone calls, and thousands of hours doing "party work" have left us pooped. | |||
So, while we've enjoyed it immensely, we're looking forward to taking it easy, and letting others carry the banner of liberty onward and upward to ever-greater heights--as we are quite sure that they will. | |||
