What people are saying about Lance Brown for President:

   "I've been reading some of the political content at freedom2008.com, and find it damn interesting.
   "I am nominally a Democrat, but have never been seriously politically active, mainly because I'm fed up with a lot of what the major parties say and do. ...you could say I'm looking for an intelligent alternative.
   "I'm not ready to declare myself a Libertarian, but your site piques me and makes me think. And that's (at least) half the battle.
   "Very interesting."
-- Kurt B.,
Allentown, Pa.

   "Wow I am amazed and joyous! Your views are just what this country needs! I am going to spread the word about your campaign."
-- Elizabeth Ward

   "I read every article posted on your site and was amazed to find myself repeatedly saying 'Wow, I agree with that.'"

   "I'm pro-Lance as long as I'm not also running for prez" - 
-- Mojo Nixon, entertainer and revolutionary

   "You are probably this country's last chance at freedom in this lifetime."
-- ¡Obay!

   "I stumbled upon your website and it is WONDERFUL. You can count on MY VOTE and MY SUPPORT in 2008!!!"
-- Alan Handleman,
Grayson, KY

   "This is the blog belonging to my former boss and aspiring President of the United States. I remain pledged to moving to Ireland if he actually wins but still it's an interesting site."
-- Adam Graham,
Boise, Idaho

   "I just want to take a minute to tell you that we really do appreciate your writing over here. I find the state of this country so outrageous that I mostly sit around pulling my hair out and fantasizing about Canada. But, incredibly, you don't stew! It's like you're on a whole other plane.
   "It's so easy to lose sight of reality with all that glare from the fancy magic show illusions of our 'two' party system. Seriously. Your message is hopeful and real."
-- Kristen Werner,
Rollinsford, N.H.

Sierra Students for Change

I met yesterday with folks from Sierra Students for Change, which is a newly-formed local organization, founded at nearby Sierra College. I met one of the founders of the group through the Funeral for the Bill of Rights a few weeks back. Her name is Darlene Loyd, and she's a really pumped-up activist-- all energy and positivity. Good stuff. According to the summary of the meeting, I was a "Special Guest" -- so that's something. I just let the folks know about the Bill of Rights Defense thing we're putting together here.

Sierra College -- at least our small local campus -- has been utterly quiet politically the whole time I've lived here, as far as I know. I've wanted to do something about that, but I haven't known anyone who's a student there who had the time and inclination to rouse up some activism there. I could have just taken the initiative and roused it up myself, but without any knowledge of the college dynamics, and with a need to prioritize my efforts, I just haven't done it. Darlene's committed to getting some activist action out of the generally sleepy campus, and the group seems to be doing well, considering that it was just founded a few weeks back, during the last week of last semester.

The only potential concern is that the club is defining itself loosely as "progressive". And "progressive" tends to mean the use of a bit more government force than I'm confortable with. It's all good, though-- these days there's plenty for lefties and libertarians to agree on, what with the creeping police state and the prospect of permanent war, not to mention corporate welfare up the yin-yang.

Also, in the meantime I'm going to work on showing Darlene that she's probably really a libertarian. :-)

As far as I know they don't have a website yet, or I'd link to it.

As a past student and now an employee of Sierra College I can tell you that 90% of all the student here at Sierra College are Door Knobs. By this I mean that to be a Door Knob one must not be able to think for them self and that they follow the crowds. Mostly it is students who do not care about anything unless it directly affects them in the pocket book.
