Goffstown, NH — The Outsider Media Foundation, a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization, is proud to announce the launch of its first national party chair questionnaire. Established in 2023, the Foundation’s goal is to enhance public participation in and understanding of political activity through media and other organizations, particularly in areas underrepresented by traditional news sources.
As part of its mission, the Foundation produces clear, accessible resources and educational materials that examine the policies, priorities, and challenges faced by political parties and their candidates. This questionnaire serves as an extension of that mission, providing a transparent look into the positions and strategies of political movements across the country. It is the first of many initiatives designed to help the public better understand these organizations and their goals for the United States.
The initial round of invitations has been extended to chairpersons or authorized representatives of nationally focused political parties that are either recognized by the Federal Election Commission or have a competitive presence and an established ballot line in at least one state. The results of the questionnaire will be publicly available on the Outsider Media Foundation’s website and featured on Independent Political Report, the Foundation’s official journal, which has covered American third parties and independent candidates since 2008.
“I’m incredibly excited to announce our first national party chair questionnaire,” said Jordan Willow Evans, Executive Director of the Outsider Media Foundation. “Since our founding, the Board of Directors has discussed the value of a project like this—one that provides voters with a clearer understanding of what each party stands for and how it plans to implement its policy objectives. With more Americans actively seeking information outside of mainstream legacy media, now is the perfect time to present these insights in a way that is accessible, educational, and nonpartisan.”
Responses will be published as they are received, with no edits except for formatting adjustments to ensure readability on the Foundation’s website. Party chairpersons interested in learning more about the questionnaire or how to participate are encouraged to contact the Outsider Media Foundation for details.

Gene Berkman just likes to throw out unfounded accusations and not back them up.
“The Mises Caucus has nothing to do with Ludwig von Mises”
It does in so far as it is named in honor of him and inspired by his writings.
“in most cases, promotes policies directly opposed to the policies promoted by Ludwig von Mises”
I don’t think that’s true at all. Would you care to elaborate regarding what policies and which of von Mises’ writing you are thinking of?
“a poltical organization committed to Russian dominance”
LOL. As a real libertarian who actually does want to see Russia liberate and denazify the evil west including the US, I can assure you that the Mises Caucus is in no way “committed to Russian dominance”. That’s the same kind of accusations they leveled at Louis Marinelli and the “Yes California” PAC. U+1F644
What I think you mean, is that they are committed to ending US entanglement with nazi “ukraine” – especially when it comes at the expense of taxpayers. And while that is a step forward and does seem libertarian prima facie, it is really not good enough from a true libertarian perspective (as I explained previously*)
“This topic has nothing to do with Mises, the LP, or any of their current intrigues.”
“Well no, but actually yes.” The OMF’s board** has strong ties to the LP – and particularly on the anti-Mises wing of the party. Furthermore the OMF is the parent of IPR***, which of course reports a lot on the LP – and by extension about the Mises Caucus – and their intrigues. So while discussing the Mises Caucus in the comments might be slightly tangential to the press release above, Rick’s original post and the back and forth that arose from it are in fact quite relevant.

*** Please bear in mind that “[i]ndividuals who engage in verbal attacks against [Independent Political Report’s] owner or administrative staff will have their posting privileges revoked” might also extend to Outsider Media Foundation in general, and its board of directors in particular. Which is why am holding back some choice words about former LP chair Whitney Bilyeu 😉
This topic has nothing to do with Mises, the LP, or any of their current intrigues.
It is a very interesting idea, and I look forward to seeing the results. Hopefully a significant number of the recognized national parties will respond.
That sounds like the Trump Russia collusion hoax cooked up in Lucifer’s colon by Killary Klingon, the deep state, fake news, and commie demon rats from the bowels of hell. But what does this Russophobia and paranoia have to do with the libertarians?
Gene, they do have the values of Mises, and it has nothing to do with Russian dominance. You just support the communist wing of the LP and hate freedom.
Russian dominance? Please explain.
Rick – it is possible that the OMF does not like the Mises Caucus. That does not in any way indicate whether they like or dislike Ludwvig von Mises. The Mises Caucus has nothing to do with Ludwig von Mises, and in most cases, promotes policies directly opposed to the policies promoted by Ludwig von Mises.
The Mises Institute uses that name with permission of Margit von Mises, the widow of Ludwig von Mise. Margit von Mises did not authorize Lew Rockwell or anybody else to use the name Mises for their political campaigns. Margit von Mises did not authorize Michael Heise to use the name of Ludwig von Mises for a poltical organization committed to Russian dominance.,
The “Foundation” is actually to push left wing policies and hate Mises. Look at the board as exhibit A.
