I would like to thank all of my supporters for their assistance in this endeavor. I look forward to helping build the party as I serve on the Libertarian National Committee as an Alternate to Region 6.
PORTER BECOMES REGION 6 ALTERNATE
Denver, CO –On Saturday, May 24th Jake Porter was elected to the Libertarian National Committee as an Alternate to Region 6 which includes the following states: Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Porter, 20, had originally intended on running for the Libertarian National Committee as an At-Large Representative, but decided against doing so after St. Joseph Missouri City Councilman; Mike Bozarth nominated him for the Region 6 Alternate position.
Porter formerly served as Chief of Staff to the George Phillies 2008 Presidential campaign and was as an At-Large Representative to the Libertarian Party of Iowa.
Congratulations and good luck.
I was thrilled to hear this news last weekend. This is just a first step for Jake. The future is very bright.
When he’s chairman some day, I hope he remembers us “little people”…haha.
Best of luck Mr.Porter
I shall first congratulate my good friend Jake Porter on his election to the Libertarian National Committee.
I shall now hijack the thread to note that Austin Cassidy’s new blog, whose web interface is so fractious I cannot log into it, has posted a report on a Massachusetts Libertarian meeting last night. The report is from someone who was not at the meeting. The report bears absolutely no semblance to reality, down to not getting right the name of the group that met.
The report’s author appears to be the same person who keeps circulating reports that I was attacked at the National Convention by an armed gunman.
If I had been contacted as State Chair, I would have been happy to offer corrections–make that ‘suggest a total replacement for the report’. I wasn’t.
Congrats, Jake!!
What everyone else said.
Regarding George’s hijack: I was at the meeting, and I will correct the report at IPR. Speaking of IPR, I still need a log-in to post there.
Way to go Jake! It is early and my think’ cap ain’t on straight, but good work and regardless of what happens remember:
Chin up and Straight Ahead.

How individual citizens got their vote back
In 2008 a massive movement will be started by individuals
who are fed up with the election process that exists in
the United States.
This is what will happen:
The citizens in this group will start mailing out envelopes
filled with small amounts of various powdered substances
normally found around the house.
These envelopes will be sent to the addresses available on
the Internet for all the candidates that the persons
are NOT in favor of.
This is why:
In 1991 an engineer, working in Boca Raton, Florida
wrote an e-book about this different form of terrorist
warfare (available Free on web site http://www.farviewu.biz).
Ten years later, just after the 9-11 event another event
occurred (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_anthrax_attacks).
Based on this post 9-11 their envelopes will close up the
candidates offices and possibly even the post office.
It may even shut down the 2008 election.
The individuals involved in the act will spend about
50 cents (51 cents now) for each envelope mailed out. As long as
they are careful to not leave finger prints on/in the envelopes or
stamps and use bogus return addresses they will not be traceable.
