Support the LPNC Outreach Library 

Introducing North Carolinians to the Libertarian Party is a critical part of building support for our 2016 candidates. That work starts now with outreach efforts at major events throughout the state. At these events, we give away materials that introduce our party and our position on important issues. But the library of materials we use to do this is running critically low. 

Our goal is to put the Libertarian Party message in the hands of nearly 12,000 North Carolinians at major events between now and the 2016 election. Your donation to this effort can make a big difference in how our candidates perform next year.

This is one of the pieces we want to put in their hands, created by Ken Penkowski, an at large member of the executive committee. 

The LPNC Outreach Library will include our position on everything from the right to marry to the right to carry!

For $100, you can help us put information in the hands of over 250 North Carolinians at events like the North Carolina State Fair, Fiesta del Pueblo and (something out West.) For a $20 donation, you can help us share the libertarian message with 50 North Carolinians.

Go here to support the LPNC Outreach Library.

You can make a difference from the mountains to the coast. You can do your part to change our state’s direction toward freedom. Today is the day that we continue the fight for liberty in North Carolina.

I am going to try to say something useful about the cold and calculated murder of those nine saintly Christians in Charleston, S.C. First, let us listen to the testimony of the family members who forgave the killer. These people are serious Christians. They opened their door to God and were compelled by the love they found there to welcome a stranger into their midst.

The young man who killed them had second thoughts because of the love and hospitality they showed him. For an hour, he listened to the offer of a better way of life. In the end, he chose poorly. He had hoped to ignite a race war. He has misjudged. Charleston is not Baghdad. Those good people proved him wrong by rising up in a mighty wave of love, dignity and respect. Twenty thousand marched to help wash away the malodorous stain of that day.

What now? What about the future of our country, our culture and our hearts?

I believe that we white folks need to be braver than we have in the past. I believe that we must accept a painful truth -- deep inside, many of our black neighbors do not feel able to trust us much, and I don't blame them.

A majority of state House members support House Bill 92, which would establish a nonpartisan redistricting process for North Carolina. But will the bill even get a vote in the General Assembly?

Take action. Sign the petition in support of a nonpartisan redistricting process in North Carolina.

Here are two things to do on the Fourth of July 2015, in between eating hot dogs and drinking beer, and before you watch the fireworks: 1) Read the Declaration of Independence, and; 2)  Read this excerpt from a speech by President Calvin Coolidge (you read that right) on the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration.
