Dear Friends,

Our journey together has been truly historic. As the final votes are tabulated and the curtain closes on this election, we must take time to reflect on our successes even as we turn our attention to the task before us.

Our campaign has stirred the sleeping giant by showing millions that freedom, peace, and prosperity are achievable. We know that these things can come about only through sound money, limited government and a respect for the inherent rights of every individual. We have awakened the political class to the popularity and viability of Liberty. And, most of all, we have awoken within ourselves a spirit of freedom and independence that cannot be suppressed by any ruler, army, or philosophy of subservience and fear.

Yet we must not reflect long. We must press our efforts and lay the groundwork for the future of our movement and our country. The 2010 election cycle is just around the corner. We must redouble our efforts to educate our fellow citizens, recruit and support liberty candidates, and marshal our resources for the battle ahead.

Ours is the most solemn charge of all: to defend Liberty in this bleak hour lest the very notion that man might best govern himself be scoured from this land and from the conscience of mankind.

In our campaign for liberty, we’re just getting started.

Let the Revolution begin.

Yet again Social Memory Complex hits another homerun with this little gem. Granted I recognize that I’m biased but I find the amount of times I agree with what this person has to say to be uncanny. It’s not just the Belle and Sebastian quotes either. I enjoy the content. In this piece the author does a nice job of pointing out the existential nature of cooperation. Too many people pin anarchists as extreme individualists when the fact of the matter is we all act within a natural collective that doesn’t seem to require centralized control.  People, like most animals, have an inborn instinct to “get along” and with education we can satisfy this instinct without the use of violence.
