Open letter to Newt Gingrich

Mr. Gingrich,

Like all new candidates, Barack Obama is popular because he hasn't expressed his big-government, anti-American policies yet. They all lose their support, both parties, because they propose government solutions for problems - always code for bigger government. They would get increased support if they supported government reform that freed Americans from government.

The American people aren't stupid. Most Americans don't vote because all candidates support more government, not less. As you uniquely know, Americans don't want Washington to solve our problems. We want government off our backs so we can solve our own problems. Voter turnout shows that the great libertarian mainstream of American is unrepresented. Support us please.

Hold spending flat. Get the federal government out of health care and education - it's destroying both. Adopt the FairTax. Remove the burdens that keep American businesses and workers from competing on a level playing field. Control our borders. Win our wars. Pay the price to fix the entitlements foisted on us by our self-serving political ancestors and be done with them.

Leading America isn't rocket science. Just remember you work for the people. Freedom is always the right answer. Everything else follows naturally. Support free speech.

  1. Barack Obama is popular precisely cause he's superficial.

    The problem with most libertarians, and just about the entire libertarian movement is that we're not superficial enough.

    We don't understand the importance of celebrity, fame, good looks, sports.

    Look anywhere's on the Web today. What do you see:

    CHICAGO BEARS

    Do you see any libertarians at all talking football?

    Our libertarian movement needs to be more mainstream, and understand what mainstream America cares about.

    Hint: It ain't some boring ass policy position paper issued by some wired-rim glasses wearing guy at the Cato Institue.
