What Can You Do to Spread Liberty?
Libertarians hear about voter dissatisfaction with government dysfunction and scratch their head in wonder.
Why do voters continue to support the status quo if they are not happy with it?
Perhaps this is the case because Libertarian activists are failing to make the general public aware of Libertarian alternatives.
Therefore, we would like to offer some “Activists" Options.
1. During election seasons, be aware of recommendations on the this website , as well as those on the Montana Libertarian Party website www.mtlp.org and that of the national Libertarian Party www.lp.org.
2. During election seasons, look for the Libertarian Party of Flathead County ballot arguments on your Voter Pamphlet. The flathead County Elections Department makes available voter information on its website https://flathead.mt.gov/department-directory/election
3. Write Letters to the Editor offering the libertarian view on news articles and government officials’ proposals. The Flathead Beacon The Daily Interlake
4. Support the efforts of core activists with your membership dues ($5 per year) view Membership Application. Your dues and donations serve to keep the lights on (web hosting and voice mail), purchase educational literature for distribution, and finance all manner of outreach (educational tabling, social events,” meet the candidates “ events).
5. Run for political office, and take advantage of the opportunities to spread the Libertarian point of view during candidates’ forums sponsored by numerous organizations. The Flathead Elections Department and the Montana Secretary of State https://sosmt.gov/elections/ have a wealth of information on political offices coming up for election and guidelines for candidates.
6. Apply for available positions in local government. Check “Vacancy – Boards, Commissions, and Task Forces” on the Flathead Government website, https://flathead.mt.gov/department-directory/commissioners-office/our_boards/current-board-openings
