Chris Edes Announces for US Senate
Serf City talks with Chris Edes - Libertarian Candidate for US Senate
Chris Edes is seeking the Libertarian nomination for US Senate. Chris is a long time Libertarian activist and a former NY Libertarian Party Chair. We asked Chris a few questions about his campaign. Here is what he told us.
SC: What are the three or four most important issue that you will focus on in this campaign?
Chris Edes: My campaign will be focused on civil liberties, fiscal responsibility and a government that respects the Constitution. I will stand for Liberty and repeal or oppose all acts of war against America and freedom, such as the National Defense Authorization Act. I will stand for free speech against SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and other thinly disguised attempts to censor the Internet.
There is no choice but to return to fiscal solvency, or see our nation destroyed. I will oppose any attempt to raise the debt ceiling. The only acceptable budget is a balanced budget that does not raise taxes.

How Liberals and Conservatives Are Losing the Battle of Ideas - by Drew Rushford
The Young Activitists
New ideas, by their very nature, find root in the fertile soil of young minds. Liberals are no longer the bearers of new ideas. Conservatives are still ridiculous. Both groups are hoping enough interested people are out there who prefer their brand of statism and phony philosophies, both of which have been tainted (perhaps from their very inception) by an obvious desire to control individuals and individuality itself. read more...
Obama's Con Game: Budget Priorities Part 1 -by Ron Moore
This one doesn’t come directly from President Obama (though many others have). It comes from White House Senior Advisor, David Plouffe as reported this morning in Politico Playbook. However, it’s consistent with the pattern of intellectual dishonesty exhibited by the President and his administration. It’s what I call “Low Information Explanation” - L.I.E for short.
It doesn’t take much critical thinking to see through this one. Here is the entire quote from Politico this morning.
DAVID PLOUFFE, White House senior adviser, will be out with a blast email this a.m.: “[W]hen Congressman Paul Ryan put out a new budget for the House Republicans this week, we spent some time with it. We took read more...

Manhattan Libertarian Chapter
Monthly Meeting

Presidential Candidate Jim Burns
Ukrainian East Village Restaurant, 140 Second Avenue in Manhattan
FREE
Jim Burns is running for the Libertarian nomination for President. He wasn't able to attend the Manhattan LP Convention so he is going to join us as our guest speaker this month. Here is an exceprt from his website.
We Have A Choice.
We may have rich and powerful politicians and bureaucrats in Washington DC, or we may have rich and powerful people.
We may have wars, poverty, and tyranny, or we may have peace, prosperity, and progress.
Our President should understand that some of the major ways that politicians and bureaucrats in Washington DC get their abusive power are by:
-
granting special privileges to their friends at the expense of everyone else, and
-
taking money from some people and giving the money to other people.
Voluntary exchange is the fountainhead of economic and other activity. The interference by politicians and bureaucrats with voluntary exchange strikes at the core of our ability to live in peace with each other and destroys jobs and other economic pursuits. Therefore, to reduce the harmful interference of politicians and bureaucrats, I advocate the following as part of the solution: read more...
