Suggestion about the NI4D
Submitted on May 28th, 2008 by DebbieKatSo, after the convention, my husband and I visited one of the bookstores in Denver. Found a great book by Frances Moore Lappe called
Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity, and Courage in a World Gone Mad (Paperback). I haven't finished it yet, but from what I've read so far, it seems like she is advocating something similar to the NI4D. Has Senator Gravel ever spoken with Ms. Lappe? She also goes around the country trying to educate people about what we can do to create a better society. Seems like introducing these two to each other would be a great idea.
This is her site: http://www.smallplanet.org/

The only person that I remember MIGHT have been involved with it is the state chair of the LP for West Virginia.
Its a good idea. If enough
Submitted on May 28th, 2008 by Mike__MIts a good idea. If enough of us stay involved, I guess defacto we'd be a caucus.
How about a "Left-Libertarian" Caucus?

Submitted on May 27th, 2008 by sgrimesHe did endorse the Senator, so I assume he is....but we all know what happens when we assume lately....
From what I heard at the debates
Submitted on May 28th, 2008 by DebbieKatI would think both Jingozian and Phillies would be for something like this.
