Volume 3, Issue 10 | July 2023

"God save the Queen, man." ― Joe Biden, current U.S. President

In this Issue... 

In our July 2023 issue, we look forward and look back. Ryan shares an old reflection on being Libertarian from the Tar Heel in the 70s, and then asks that everyone get involved with campaign season. This is a common theme with registration only open for another week, and everyone who is running in need of support, volunteers, and donors. As a bonus this month, Art by Karla has allowed us to run her comic on the disgusting Gastonia city government.

Communications Director Rob Yates continues to reflect on a year in the role. Trevor Miles points out the utter tyranny of the Border Patrol and the wayward Supreme Court case supporting that tyranny, and offers solutions. Deborah Reese, proud co-owner of Fox Knob Farm, highlights the issues the state has created for local farmers. And 2A Issues Coordinator Justin Hinckley delivers his best article yet. We round it off with LP in NC and an updated Liberty iNC catalogue.

Seeking new affiliate team members!

The LPNC affiliate team is seeking regional liaisons to assist counties or regions in becoming official affiliates of the LPNC. Liaisons are responsible for following up with local organizers, as well as keeping open communication with those already active. They serve as coordinators between local groups and the LPNC; offering guidance, sharing information and resources, and updating contact information. They should be organized, with strong communication skills, and the willingness to attend virtual, bi-weekly meetings and work collectively to give updates, resolve issues, and find new opportunities.

Meetings are every other Monday at 8 PM.

Please e-mail Kimberly Acer at [email protected] if you are interested!
