The principles enunciated by the Libertarian Party have been inspiring - but all too often the LP has ignored these principles and instead engaged in exactly the same kind of deceptive behavior and toleration of corruption seen in the major parties, government, and corporations.
The only way to change this is to become transparent, tolerating no compromises on issues of principle. Are there issues that are unclear? Probably. But knowing all actions will be transparent creates a filter for each of us. We think before acting.
George Phillies has made it one of his missions to publish the facts. Those are available at CMLC Publications. The link will open to the chapters for Funding Liberty!, but all of the content in the menu is well worth reading.

Additionally, the letter below begins an extended explanation of the impact lies can have on the life of one individual, in this case myself and my family. While some events had taken place earlier this narrative begins in early 1998 when I decided to attend the Libertarian Party of California Convention in Los Angeles.
Here is a letter I wrote about this event sometime later, but never published.
For those of you who are new to the
movement and did not know me when I was active in the LP here are
some of the things I did.
Six terms Southern Vice Chairman, California LP
First County Chairman, Los Angeles
Fundraising for an managing 24 local campaigns
Ran for State Senate as a Libertarian
Ran, managed and funded an office for Southern California on Westwood Blvd for four years.
Organized protests, wrote and designed literature, did the typesetting myself, spoke at events, and more.
This year I put up a website for Gail Lightfoot, who three times kept the LP on the ballot in California.
