1. Liberty for ourselves and others
Dr. Mary Ruwart:
“No one who seeks power to take away the liberty of others can legitimately claim to love their neighbors. Liberty, on the other hand, is consistent both with self-love and love of others, since we must be willing to grant liberty to others to have it for ourselves. When people are ready, change will happen. Right now, most people want liberty for themselves, but not for their neighbor. Obviously, that won't work. We must be caring enough to allow others to be free if we want freedom for ourselves.”
Dr. Ruwart will visit with Williamson County Libertarians on June 28.
All are welcome.
WCLP Meetup w/ Dr. Mary Ruwart
Tuesday, June 28
6:30 - 9:00 p.m.
Lupe Tortilla
249 Bass Pro Dr., Round Rock.

2. Libertarian candidates news
David Roberson, Libertarian for Texas House, District 49, posted these comments on Discord:
“As a new LP member, [the] national convention was intense, illuminating, intellectually stimulating, and inspiring - all at once. I thoroughly enjoyed being immersed in an environment where folks were engaged, had strong opinions (regardless of whether I agreed or disagreed with them), and were committed to doing the dirty, exhausting legwork that is necessary for our form of government. Ours is a government ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people’ and we all have a responsibility to help create a country full of equal opportunity and equal standing before the law. My heart and head [are] full.”
Shanna Steele, Libertarian for Lt. Governor, apparently came close to blows with Beto O’Rourke.

6. What is a libertarian?
Some say libertarians are "plotting to take over the world and leave you alone."
Watch this entertaining 10-minute animation on "The Philosophy of Liberty." (English version) (Other languages)
Tomasz Kaye has created three excellent animations, "George ought to help" (4 min.), "Edgar the Exploiter" (7 min.), and "You can always leave" (11.5 min.).
Here is a 7-minute video, "What is Classical Liberalism?" from Learn Liberty.
Take this short (10 question) online quiz from the Advocates for Self-Government to see if you might have libertarian leanings: “The World’s Smallest Political Quiz.”
