From Virginia Libertarian candidate Matt Cholko:
Friends,
As you probably know by now, our campaign received 3.14% of the vote yesterday. I tried hard not to set any specific goal for electoral performance, but I can safely say that we did better than I was thinking that we would. Of course, no matter how well we would have done, all of us would have liked to do even better. Fortunately, with the skills and knowledge gained through this campaign, I believe that everyone involved will be in a much better position to succeed in the future.

Dear Friend of Liberty,
The Republicans had control of the federal government for years, and they used their power to greatly increase the size, scope, and burden of government.
Now the Democrats are in charge and they're doing it too. Their health care plan currently in the works is a serious threat to liberty.

I can't believe Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner wants to hand out billions more bailout money to GMAC!
And who knows if we'll be able to stop the Obama government health care takeover? We couldn't stop Bush and the Republican Congress from passing the $400 billion (later $1.2 trillion!) Medicare drug plan.
Are you mad enough to run for Congress as a Libertarian yourself? I hope so!

Dear Friend of Liberty,
This coming November 3 is Election Day in many places throughout the U.S. Since it's an odd-numbered year, there are relatively few races. Nevertheless, dozens of Libertarians are on the ballot for various positions.

Dear Friend of Liberty,
First, I wanted to send a big thank you to the new Monthly Pledgers who signed up for recurring monthly donations online. We added this very convenient feature about a week ago and sent an announcement last Friday. So far, over 20 people have signed up for recurring monthly contributions on our membership and contribution forms.
We have also conducted online polls on the following topics recently:

Dear Friend of Liberty,
I am disappointed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Barack Obama. That prize should go to individuals who end wars and make peace, not those who make war.
President Obama has utterly failed to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has increased American military involvement in Afghanistan, and appears ready to escalate that war even further.
