Libertarians for a Boortz-Free National Convention
Sign Now
We, members and supporters of the Libertarian Party, object to the scheduled appearance of talk radio host Neal Boortz as a speaker at the Libertarian Party's 2004 National Convention.
We further request that said appearance be cancelled.
The reasons for our objection and request are as follows:
1) Mr. Boortz's publicly stated opinions on foreign policy, especially with respect to the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, diverge wildly from the Libertarian Party's positions;
2) Mr. Boortz's publicly stated opinions on the FBI's investigations and surveillance of anti-war demonstrators are flagrantly at odds with the Libertarian Party's positions on privacy, freedom of expression and the proper function of law enforcement in a free society;
3) Because of Mr. Boortz's prominent public profile, it is likely that any appearance by him at the LP's 2004 national convention will have a substantial impact on the public's perception of what the LP stands for;
4) It is not in the best interests of the Libertarian Party to facilitate public misidentification of its positions on foreign policy with Mr. Boortz's divergent views.
This petition will be presented to the Libertarian National Committee at its December 13-14, 2003 meeting in St. Louis, MO, with all signatures gathered to date appended. The petition itself will remain available for signing through May 26, 2004, the day prior to the opening of the Libertarian Party's 2004 national convention.

Surely there are less controversial speakers, if not a moment of silence might be a better option.

Nadine Strossen, head of the ACLU spoke at our 1996 convention, to wild acclaim. She did more than hold a few opinions contrary to our platform, she worked actively and relentless

I don't mind him being a feature of the convention but not as a speaker, if he's going to talk the same warmongering stuff I see him write for Worldnetdaily. I'd suggest maybe a d

Someone should tell Goerge Phillies that Boortz is speaking at zero cost to the LP (I received this info from Nancy Neale directly) and that his Jim Lark bashing must stop,
