A very happy announcement from the Modern Whig Party:
The Modern Whig Party continues to draw interest from various electronic media outlets througout the country. The latest scheduled appearance is Thursday, Feb. 5 in the 10 am (CT) hour on KRMS News-Talk 1150 AM and 97.5 FM in Missouri. National Chairman Mike Lebowitz and Missouri Chapter Chairman George Mills will be guests on “The Morning Magazine with Mike McSorley.”
Mike Lebowitz is an accomplished attorney and award-winning international journalist. He served in Iraq as a paratrooper in 2005-2006. He also has spent a considerable amount of time in the field of media and legal reform in places such as East Africa and the Middle East. In addition, he has testified on Capitol Hill as a legal expert.
George Mills, a full-time Missouri college student, is in the National Guard and served in Iraq in 2006-2007.
Members also have recorded interviews with various NPR affiliates. KRMS serves the Ozarks and Jefferson City area. Links to all radio appearances will be made available as soon as possible.
“Ron Paul ran as a Republican no? Does that mean Libertarianism didn’t get alot of publicity in the recent election?”
*applauds* touche.
“The Modern Whigs will never get anywhere. Mark my words.”
Not the point.
We want to get candidates in that will help our country. Who cares what the ticket is or what banner they officaly run under.
Ron Paul ran as a Republican no? Does that mean Libertarianism didn’t get alot of publicity in the recent election?
This particular interview went very well. The chairman was on for the entire hour conversing with the host and fielding questions from callers.
Links will be provided as soon as they come available.
I am a member of the Modern Whig party btw. I am also a member of the BTP.
The Modern Whigs will never get anywhere. Mark my words.
Because they’re more “moderate” (“moderate” meaning “appealing to the two-party-brains) they might have some success.
While I think the Modern Whig Party is too statist for me, I hope they manage to build a national organization, run some legitimate candidates, promote less corrupt government, and generally get some positive media attention for alternative parties. Of course, my cynical side said this is just one promising Internet-based “movement” that turns out to be little more than online forum for disgruntled wannabe activists.
