		<description>Yeah - you can come out here or I can go out there - either way would be cool - I don&#039;t know where I&#039;ll be in February. Maybe Vegas for the state chairs/activists meeting. 


http://statechairs.org/


&quot;What: 2008 Leadership Conference

Where:  Las Vegas, Nevada

When: Presidents’ Day Weekend, 2008 (February 15-17)

 

In the past, you may have heard some refer to this meeting as the “State Chairs’ Conference”.  It’s not.  Every state chair should be there and a meeting of the state chairs will conclude the event.  But, it is so much more than a meeting of a mere 50 people.

 

The annual Leadership Conference is a meeting of all Libertarian activists, organizers, candidates, and financial supporters.  No matter which category or categories you fit in, you will find more events that will interest you than you will be able to do. 

 

This is where all Libertarians gather with the single purpose of building our party’s structural integrity beyond the level required to defeat the other two parties.  There will be an eight hour seminar on activist and candidate training. There will be job training for county and state officers, from filing with the FEC to how to organize volunteers in your area to organizing new affiliate parties in your state. 

 

Those who will be attending the 2008 National Convention on Memorial Day in Denver need to attend the 2008 Leadership Conference in preparation.  I hope everyone goes to our national convention.  It is hands down the biggest event of the Party, occurring every two years.  And the Annual Leadership Conference in Las Vegas will prepare first time convention goers to perform their responsibilities at the Convention.

 

At the 2008 Leadership Conference, the platform committee will meet, the bylaws committee will meet, and there will be various seminars on how to be a better and more effective delegate, with topics ranging from Roberts’ Rules of Order to Conventioneering.

 

If you have ever wanted to attend a meeting of the Libertarian National Committee, you will have your chance on this glorious three day weekend in Las Vegas. 

 

Additionally, the tentative schedule of events includes both a debate of our Presidential candidates and a debate of our candidates for chair of the 2008 LNC.  There will also be forums and lectures, concerning how we reach out to both Democrats and Republicans now that their combined approval rating is less than 50%.  It’s closer to 25%.  The glass isn’t even half full for the other two parties.  Right now, conference planners are finding libertarian leaning Republicans and Democrats; to give their perspective on where the two party system has the weakest psychological hold on the electorate and where the LP should be staking out political ground.

 
There will be seminars from individuals accomplished in the fields of fundraising and marketing.  In short it is the goal of the Leadership Conference organizers to offer a conference where you just can’t see everything you want to.&quot;


Maybe another Stanhope gig would be good.

I do hope it was a wonderful day.

		<description>SG,
Insanity is the order of the day when you have a 16 year old daughter in love with a boy whose face only reminds you of train wrecks.  The Marie I mentioned is his stepmother and if his bio-mother (and current custodian) had any of her qualities and if he were in a place where strong life lessons were being shared, I&#039;d worry so much less.  Alas, we are human and have- whether from natural instinct or a god- an intense desire to do what is impulsive/intuitive.  His (bio)mother is not a bad woman, but she seems to live only for the moment and without regard to very real responsibility.

It seems that Little Bit is hell bent on starting to West TX A&amp;M in the spring semester because she wants to be close to him and she cares little about researching enough to determine whether it&#039;s a good decision for HER future.

Young love is so f&#039;ng strong and sometimes so destructive.  I really hope that we gave her enough love and knowledge for her to really determine her truth.  I&#039;m really scared that I fucked up by allowing her to go to college so young.  I&#039;m also scared that I did the right thing and she just doesn&#039;t need me.

Wait!!!  You also wished me decadence; doesn&#039;t that mean I can have too much of what I want?  I wish it turns out right for her and that I have all of her affection throughout-nevermind- I should have babied my baby and kept her home until 30. :o(

I&#039;m sorry to have dumped-- I&#039;m heading to your place to share some joy.  I&#039;ll be there in one glass of wine...</description>

		<description>Merry Christmas, Miche.  Rom Paul was a hot topic of discussion tonight at the dinner table.  Interestingly, a Croatian doctor was curious as to why Dr Paul is not allowed to debate other candidates or so it seems.  He felt it was akin to communism.  Anyway, have a safe and happy holidays - lots of love, decadence and insanity.  muhahaha</description>
