[LPL Board of Directors] Louisiana END The FED Rally

[Guy McLendon]

... just sharing my experience based upon several "Common Ground" events
that included participation from Constitution, Green, Reform USA & LP.

One particular event was intended to be cofounded equally by all 4 parties,
and I fronted the money from LP.  The only party to stiff me was
Constitution Party; Green & Reform paid their share promptly.  Also, CP had
few if any attendees other than their leadership.  The Reform Party appeared
to very few members to attend ... like, they arguable didn't have any/many
members other than their leadership.  Only the LP & Greens appeared to have
had large memberships, and to have made an attempt to bring out attendance
from those members.

All that being said ... I think that the performance of the CP leadership in
that one instance can probably NOT be justly extrapolated to other
individual members or leaders, so take the above comments with reservations.

This guy seems less likely to offer specifics than a politician.  It's a
wonder their party isn't more successful.

I'm becoming less open to any collaboration with this group and more
inclined to adhere to Mr. Ebarb's admonishment to "stay away."

My guess is:

1)there are no specifics.
2)they were hoping to bring us in to do the heavy lifting.
3)they perhaps think they will benefit from our involvement more so than
without us.
4)there's little in it for us.

As I noted earlier, I'm not opposed outright from advocating ending the Fed.

(there is just such a pronouncement on a bumper sticker on my trunk)

But we might do better to stick to our platform guidelines and only take a
State level position where we can.
