& Government Officials Association on Libertarianism
Typically, search under "boards" in your local website, or ask public clerk:
>Barcelona, Spain (Consejos ciudadanos/vecindarios)
"Be a leader. Join us to better community.We're doing it!"--M.Gilson-De Lemos (MG),1st modern Libertarian in public office, Libertarian Program editor.
Who, Wins...
Cut costs/ taxes 50%, raise choice, quality 100% ...Result: Over twice as much for half the cost. This is typical as Libertarian Program participants lead the way...like Mike Spalding and team on a Water Board, who're on their way there working with local citizens like you. He says: "I've been elected and re-elected to the local Water Board. It's a small office, but I and my compatriots have been able to hold down rate increases despite increasing costs. We've forgone any taxes at all."
The 3A's:
LIO Fellow Pres. Ronald Reagan led the way for many, here in the White House appointing one of many pro-Libertarians to public office. Libertarian Program/GOAL participants focus on non-partisan local office, and advisory appointive boards. How? Use the 3 A's:
>Appear: Check out local boards you may be interested in as a citizen monitor. Be courteous, make positive suggestions. Often people are invited to seek appointment after several visits. Help libertarian-interested candidates in campaigns who may appoint you, too. Often Neighborhood boards are looking for people willing to work.
>Apply: Follow the procedure.
>Act: Upon appointment or selection, be nice, let people know in your area what you're doing, and realize often small gains lead to important changes. And tell us of your wins: this data will go into our best practice journal and inspire others.
Sample appointive (adlective) offices
>Judge, juror
>District Attorney/prosecutor
>Sister City Board
>Tax reduction
>Neighborhood
>Soil & Water/Ecology
>Library, parks, & other amenities
>School Boards
>Citizen advisory councils
>Quango's (Public/private)
>Draft board
>US President
Remember to use the 3 C's:
>Calm: Be honest, the voice of reason. Attack problems, not people.
>Consensus: Bring people together
>Competence: On voluntary alternatives being used now, and the basics of your position seeing that rights/proper procedure is followed. Let people know of your work, and create a local following.
