Libertarian Party at Colorado State University

Being at an educational institution, it's useful every once in a while to provoke thought. To that end, we're designing a series of flyers to be posted around campus on regular intervals, to provoke thought, to raise awareness of the LP's existence, and to draw folks in to see what libertarians are all about: (click on the link to see the draft pdf version of the flyer)

• During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. - George Orwell
  
• Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt. - Herbert Hoover
  
• The power of tax is the power to destroy. - John Marshall
  
• Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. - Mark Twain
  
• When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary. - Thomas Paine
  
• Patriotism means loving our country, not the government. - Michael Cloud
  
• The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. - Ayn Rand
  
• Let me tell you how it will be/There's one for you, nineteen for me/'Cause I'm the taxman/Yeah, I'm the taxman. / Should five percent appear to small, be thankful I don't take it all/'Cause I'm the taxman/Yeah, I'm the taxman. - George Harrison
  
• I let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes as common as the grass. - Lao Tsu
  

This is just a start, of course. Which ones should we use first around campus? Favorites/least favorites? Are ther other libertarian quotes or statements you'd like to see?

The campus libertarian group at Colorado State University is in the process of re-forming itself. As the fall semester begins, we'll be re-registering as a campus organization and beginning to engage the campus community with the libertarian principles of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and limited government.

So:
-- If you're tired of hearing Democrats and Republicans fight over which of your rights to infringe...
-- If you're tired of seeing your tax dollars sucked away to support questionable social programs and foreign wars...
-- If you're hopeful and believe that getting government out of people's lives will make a for a freer and more prosperous society..
-- If you want to interject some reason and common sense into political dialogue...

Then join us! We'll be meeting regularly beginning this fall semester. Join our discussion list and check back here often to find out what's going on, or drop us a line.
