======================================================== Subject: An Open Letter and Olive Branch to the Colorado Libertarian Party
On August 27th, I faced a hearing at which the Libertarian board decided to retain me as a candidate, but censured me, concerning certain viewpoints I hold, and other viewpoints they believed that I held. I would like to apologize for any misunderstandings that arose by me forwarding e-mails that some Libertarians find questionable. I do not condone violence or racism of any kind. Further, I now better understand the importance of presenting a clear libertarian message to the public. I will do my best in that regard in the future. I also apologize to anyone who feels that I have made personal attacks on certain Libertarians, and for any perceived misstatement, I may have made about certain Libertarians. No American or true reform political party, can remain indifferent to the injustices of which the American people, have been victims for more than one hundred years. No American or true reform political party, can contest the right of the American people to unalienable rights under the Bill or Rights and the Constitution. But neither will anyone, especially from the Colorado Libertarian Party, forget the members who on both sides of the same coin failed day after day to come together as a cohesive whole, to become the kind of party that will address, and defend the rights of all Americans, defend the right to establish a constitutional government, and defend the right to ethical governing laws. We all have experienced and can attest to the truth that the Libertarian Party of Colorado has suffered damage during this electoral year. We all can attest to the truth that party ideals and values were compromised. We all can attest to the truth that lack of knowledge and understanding, created chasms and splits within the party and outside, as onlookers were observing what the Colorado Libertarian Party was all about. We who are associated as Libertarian voters, represent a number of English-speaking nationalities, predominantly American but also many others, and are from a wide variety of professions and backgrounds. Reconciliation for the Colorado Libertarian Party is a concern of utmost urgency. We, as the Colorado Libertarian Party, need to become actively involved and united as the instrument of the forbearers of constitutional government, true republic standards, and democratic legislation that protects the rights and freedoms of all Americans. It is time to set aside nitpicking, personal agendas, irresponsible actions and vain babblings. The years have past, since the original Libertarian Party was first established in Colorado. A generation here in Colorado coming of voting age, has perhaps heard of no other parties, outside of the Democrats and Republicans, that they would could consider voting for, and becoming more involved in. Today, we can change that....today we can be the kind of party that offers the plain truth, and nothing more than the truth, concerning the present state of corrupt government policies, illicit laws that overturn secured citizens' rights, and monumental abuse by legislative bodies of taxpayers' monies. We can offer the public today what no other party seems to be able to offer and deliver - the ability to respond, solve, correct and establish a governmental system that abides by constitutional mandates, and that honors the right to the pursuit of liberty, justice and freedom for all. That "we," includes those people who were present at the board hearing, those who were for or against revoking candidacy, those who presented point and counterpoint, even those who made it a point to interrupt this session with interjections of obscenities, or provided literature of a defaming nature. During this hearing, perhaps the best we can testify to, is to our having witnessed the violation of basic human rights, and personal freedoms between all parties involved. We, as the members of the Colorado Libertarian Party, must unequivocally
condemn and reject party factioning, as a means of advancing the political
goals of the Colorado Libertarian Party, and fully recognize the rights
of all Libertarians, indeed, all Americans, to live in peace, liberty
and security within their respective states. This experience should
serve to help us understand why at this present time, we need to set
aside our differences, and concentrate our efforts with one another,
and become intent on being the major political party of influence
in our respective communities that will win voter confidence. The
parameters of the solution have been clearly delineated, by all who
call themselves Libertarian, and the vision spelled out by all who
call themselves Libertarian. It is an active display of the type of
"tough love" that links candidates, with backing and policy
decisions that best express the concerns of all Colorado Libertarians.
Now, at this period in Colorado histo
