Hi Kids, Well Bludgeon & Skewer went international toady after reading and commenting on a UK Libertarian Blog in the good old United Kingdom. As a Libertarian, I would prefer that they strike the word Kingdom from the name of the country as the days of Kings are long gone, but what the hey, it's their country. Here's the post: - TANSTAAFL

Greetings from Bludgeon & Skewer,
We often hear that same
question as we continue our quest for fair ballot access here in the
great state of Georgia, USA. Our response is that 127,000 Georgians
voted Libertarian in the US Senate race in 2008 and over 1,000,000
Georgians voted for our candidate John Monds in a state wide race for
Public Service Commission that same year. Here in the USA, we are
constantly barraged with commentary from the right and left that we are
wasting our votes, that our candidates can't possibly win and that we
are enabling the democrats to beat the republicans or that we are
enabling the republicans to beat the democrats.
I'd say that
in itself is a form of power. Libertarians are the only national party
in the USA that is not tainted by corruption, scandal or just plain old
stupidity. Granted, if we are successful here in Georgia or nationally
in the 2010 cycle, we'll get the opportunity to see how long our
Libertarian stalwarts can withstand the lure of money and influence at
the State house or up at Washington.
If you'd like some more
info on how we are working for change in Georgia, head over to the
Bludgeon&Skewer website for a recounting of the effort so far.

And if you want a taste of the Libertarian movement in England, here's the web address: http://nominister.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-powerful-are-libertarians-what-is.html Also dropped by the "Libertarian Blog" and left a note: -
Greetings all,
We don’t run a blog over at Bludgeon & Skewer, but rather an
ongoing account of our Libertarian political activities as we pursue
our goal of equal ballot access here in Georgia. We are more nuts and
bolts and what can do next to influence events to obtain our goal of
overturning Georgia’s 1943 Jim Crow ballot access law that keeps
Libertarian candidates off the ballot for Georgia State House and
Georgia Senate races.
There’s a lot to see and some things to do, so drop by and check it
out. If you see anything you’d like to use, copy or emulate, go for it.
We’ll just make more.
