Dear Friends,
It’s been a busy time as we get closer to convention, but you who want to see the Libertarian Party reconstructed to exceed its former glory should take heart.
“Press'd as we are, and sore of former fight,
These straits demand our last remains of might.”
-Iliad
Keep the faith, and if you are in Maryland and support reconstruction, get to the state convention this weekend, April 20, 2024. We need good delegates in D.C.
