Boca Raton,
FL--The Libertarian Party of Florida Convention and Conference will
host major speakers on problems in government (http://lpf2006.org/speakers.html).
They include a Libertarian tax-slashing, public service increasing
mayor and representatives from an organization of policemen
determined to end the Drug War.
The problems are
sometimes maddeningly mundane. Jim Babka of the activist group
DownSize DC is coordinating a campaign to encourage legislators to
actually read the laws they pass. Many legislators admit that most
laws are passed unread by the people whose job is to craft them and
understand what they mean, they say. The Florida Libertarian Party
is the first and only political party whose candidates are expected
to read what they pass.
They'll also
discuss solutions. Libertarian mayor Will Marshall of Utah
decriminalized marihuana, abolished his salary, and cut
administrative costs to the point where taxes plummeted 54%. For
good measure, he paved all the city streets.
Carla Howell will
discuss her work advocating a small government model and effective
activism. Her work on an anti-tax amendment created a re-evaluation
of tax policy in her home state.
Robert Poole, a
frequent guest on ABC's 20/20 and Vice-Presidential advisor, will
also speak. He is a leading expert on Libertarian policy approaches
from the REASON Foundation, which he founded.
Representatives
from LEAP will do a presentation on why a growing number of police
have decided the Libertarians are on-target in their denunciation of
drug regulation.
Organizers also
expect an opportunity for conferees to meet representatives from
India who are working on forming a Libertarian Party there. India
has several influential Libertarian-oriented think tanks credited
with creating momentum a massive tax reduction policy.
The event begins
March 24, and is open to the public.
