Although nationally we did Secretary – Nina Stamoulis not win, our county did. In my opinion Mitt Romney is a fine individual Treasurer – Dick Wieland and ran a good campaign. We all know how difficult it is to beat an incumbent President. However, this President was vulnerable, and Director – Pete Watson Romney being the gentleman that he is did not pursue with vengeance Director – Debra Rodi the key points hard enough. Romney should have illustrated more Director – Skip Conroy clearly that raising taxes just provides more money for the government to waste. Also, he never pursued the disaster of Benghazi, Libya. Past President – Doug Tucker Republicans need to realize that in politics good guys finish last. On a positive note, I am happy to report that the golf team of Ray Corcoran, Ross Witschonke, Skip Conroy, and Doug Tucker has retained the Elephant Trophy for West County.

It certainly was not a landslide victory for Romney as I had predicted. I now realize that I was thinking with my heart and not my head. I did not want to believe that our country had changed so much, and that a failure like Obama could actually get re-elected and be given an opportunity to “Finish the job”. “Finish the Job” are his words from his acceptance speech, last night. Therein lies the problem. To the uneducated and ill-informed Obama Zombies, “Finish the Job” means that he will continue to work to improve the economy, create jobs, etc. To Obama, and those of us who possess critical thinking skills and have ears and actually listen, “Finish the Job” means to “Fundamentally Transform America”! Obama’s plan has been and will continue to be to diminish America and his pledge to “Finish the job” is a threat that is actually applauded by the numbskulls that voted for him, support him and cheer for him. This morning, all the pundits are offering their worthless opinions about how Obama won and how the Republicans lost and what needs to be done. These self-avowed intellects are blaming Romney’s strategy, Romney’s timidity, the Republican Party establishment, the media, and on and on. Many believe that a more Conservative candidate is the solution. Others believe that the Tea Party posture is too extreme and it frightens the electorate. Still others believe the Republicans need to find a way to attract single women, Blacks, Latinos, and Gays. In other words, the Republicans need to become “Democrat Light” if they want to win. Folks, the problem is not the candidate, nor the Republican Party. Romney was a great choice and he would have been a great president. The problem is not the Republican platform or the Tea Party to the right. The problem is that the Republicans are selling products, values, beliefs, that too many of the present day electorate ain’t buying. The Republicans/Conservatives are selling what the people don’t want…..accountability, self-sufficiency, competition, success, hard work, honesty, respect, family values, God, Pro-Life, American Exceptionalism, traditional marriage, border control and legal immigration, sanctity of life, Constitutional Rights and freedoms, smaller government, less dependence on government, less taxes, fiscal responsibility, freedom to get rich, freedom to own firearms, freedom of religion, free speech, etc.

The "Little House" books have been read, reread, trans- lated, adapted, and admired by multitudes world-wide.

In I *The author wishes to acknowledge the many people who have contributed to the groundwork that resulted in this article. Among them are Roger Lea MacBride of Charlottesville.

  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

Lark, III Region 5 Representative, Libertarian National Committee Chair, 2018 Awards Committee The members of the 2018 Awards Committee are Tim Hagan, Daniel Hayes, Jim Lark, Keith Laube, and Jennifer (“Hap”) Werther. From March through May, the Committee solicited nominations from LP members for the national awards (Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin*, Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson), as well as nominations for election to the Hall of Liberty. The solicitation took place by various means, including an article in LP News, e-mails to the LP e-mail list, and a blog post on LP.com. The deadline for submission was May 31. During the December 2016 meeting, the LNC adopted a motion without objection to induct into the Hall of Liberty all who had received the Thomas Jefferson Award for lifetime achievement prior to 2012, when the Hall of Liberty was instituted to recognize lifetime achievement and the Jefferson Award was redefined to recognize outstanding leadership and character. The five people inducted into the Hall by the LNC vote are Ruth Bennett (2008 Jefferson Award), David Bergland (1998 Jefferson Award), the late Ron Crickenberger (2004 Jefferson Award), Jim Lark (2008 Jefferson Award), and the late John Perry (2002 Jefferson Award). The Committee received and considered other nominations for the Hall of Liberty. None of the other nominees received the unanimous vote required for election. The Committee also selected the recipients of the Adams, Franklin, Henry, Paine, and Jefferson Awards. The recipients will be honored at a ceremony during the national convention in New Orleans.
