Once and future blogger Artus Register has launched a new site focusing on pro-freedom action. The libertarian activist insists, however, that this new project is something completely different, and is much more than just another blog wherein the freedom-minded simply complain to each other.
“This is all about action, and that’s the part we’ve been missing,” Register says.
While many new sites and educational/action groups committed to liberty have popped up since the success of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, Register says this organization, Liberty’s Torch is completely different.
One huge difference is the top to bottom management, which is a sort of 3 level hierarchy containing libertarian worker ants, state and local coordinators, and project leaders. The first goal, we hear often, is to “change the conversation.”
Among the site’s out-of-the-gate projects are defeating the big three bailout, educating Americans about jury nullification, and immediately ending the Iraq war. Such lofty goals are assisted by the second major difference LibertysTorch.com enjoys-something Mr. Register calls conjunctive effort.
“The state isn’t the only enemy of liberty. Our own bigotry hurts us as much as anything.
“Gun rights supporters think pot smokers are the devil’s henchmen, and gays are Satan himself. Inversely, many civil libertarians think all gun guys are survivalist Klansmen in secret militias who want to Lavay government buildings. People whose rights are being destroyed by a leviathan government need to stand together and fight back.”
Through this conjunctive effort, Liberty’s Torch plans to reach out to any group who agrees with them on the issue at hand, regardless of the groups other views.
“A large group of people clearly has a much better chance of slaying a beast, than just a few people.”
Liberty’s Torch is currently seeking writers, planners, and directors and grunts for organization, motivation, recruiting, fund raising, letter writing, phone call campaigns, etc. Those interested are asked to contact Liberty’s Torch at resisters@libertystorch.com.
