Announcing the Scott Gesty "Dog Days of August" money grenade



(If you are one of my out-of-state readers, be sure to see the note below):
A message from Scott Gesty:

To all supporters of Liberty:
I am happy to announce my first fundraising event.  We are calling it "The Gesty for Congress Dog Days of Summer Money Grenade"  It's not a 'Money Bomb' because we aren't looking for millions of dollars.  We have a targeted goal of raising $1,300 in the first ten days of August.  This is the amount need to place an Ad on a well listened to Delaware radio station sometime in the Fall.  We need your help to make history and put an Ad for a Libertarian candidate on the radio in the First State.
And I'm going to sweeten the pot.  You may recall that in 2010, I pretty much financed my run for State Representative out of my own pocket.  I really can't afford to do that this time around.  But, if you are willing to support this effort and put your hard earned money into my campaign, I feel I must do my part.  So for this event only, I will match your contribution dollar for dollar up to the goal of $1,300.   That's right, if click on that donate button on the website and donate $100, I will match that $100.  If I receive a check in the mail dated between August 1st and August 10th, I will match that too. 
A $2,600 injection of capital into the campaign early on can set us on a course to do big things come the Fall. I'd like to thank you in advance for your anticipated support.
In Liberty,
Scott
 
PS:  This is a ONE TIME event.  You won't see another one 4 weeks from now.  I'm not saying I won't accept or won't be asking for more donations down the road.  That's the nature of a campaign.  But this will be the ONLY Money Grenade Matching Funds event.  Events aren't special or have the same meaning if you do them over and over again.  Even I was tired of the Ron Paul Money Bombs after the 3rd or 4th one.
For Libertarians outside Delaware:  Many of you know the extent to which The Delaware Libertarian has supported you in the past--both with publicity and even contributions when I could afford it.

Now it's time to ask you to step up to the plate:  the putative GOP candidate in this race is so weak (his campaign "lacks a pulse," wrote one Delaware political commenter) that we have an excellent chance with Scott's campaign to make him the main competition for an incumbent Congressman--John Carney--that most of the Democrats don't even really like.

But we have to have the dollars to get Scott on the air to make it happen.  Exploding this money grenade and reaching $1,300 ($2,600 when we match it) will allow us to make useful buys at two Delaware radio stations.

Anything extra will go into signs, bumper stickers, you know the drill.  But we need some media, and we're going to have to make the orders in the last two weeks of August.

Got questions about Scott?  Go here and find out.

And--to be honest--expect me to be sending you a personal communication hitting you up.  Fifty people each ponying up $25 will get Scott's message on the air.  Go to Scott Gesty for Congress now, so you don't have to hear from me tomorrow.

So Gesty is a self-proclaimed "Ron Paul" Libertarian.

Nice.

Of course, Ron Paul is an old racist Republican who opposes the civil rights act, believes that women don't have the right to control their own bodies, and thinks the separation of church and state is wrong, among his other whacky ideas.

Just we need in Congress, more Ron Paul Repubertarians.

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba
