It's too bad you have to fall back on that site
(www.campaignforliberty.com), since the site has scary connotations:
- The book is named "The Revolution: A Manifesto"? Seriously? The
title is reminiscent of Marx.
- "The Revolution Continues" has a clever emphasis on the word "love"
spelled backwards. I don't know if this is intended to remind the
reader of substance-starved ideas like "make love, not war", but it does
for me.
- With so many references to Ron Paul, the site seems like a thinly
disguised campaign to elect Ron Paul rather than the home page for a
political movement.
I can't advocate or donate to a group with such an unclear message. I
looked at the mission statement, and it's reasonable until the statement
"Our stances on other issues can be deduced from these general
principles". The problem is that everyone will make different
deductions. I need to see a list of those deductions before I can make
any decisions about this movement.
