Libertarian Party Monday Message: Facebook Fans blow past 70,000!

Via email and LP blog:

Dear Friend of Liberty,

If you’ve been getting our Monday Messages, you might remember just a couple of months ago I announced that the number of fans on our Facebook fanpage had passed 40,000.

Well, last weekend our fanpage passed 70,000! Wow!

Our Facebook fanpage was first set up by former LNC Vice Chair Chuck Moulton. Since last September, it has been actively run by LP headquarters interns or former interns who became staff members. I’m pleased that our Facebook fanpage is run by young Libertarians!

(Note, the Libertarian Party does not officially endorse Facebook — it’s up to you to assess the pros and cons of participating in that site.)

Last week (before we hit 70,000), I researched our Facebook fan growth compared to some other politics-oriented organizations. Here’s what I found:

Thanks to all our fans, and to all you Libertarians who keep our party moving and growing!

Sincerely,

Wes Benedict

Executive Director
Libertarian National Committee

    OK, today a pit bull came up on my digs & chased a kitten under my van. He was brown & vhad a red collar& leash but nobody was around. Fortunately he wandered off. It looked like one of the 2 from before. Now was that a coincidence or did somebody plan an incident? I called the fuzz.

    FB fans should be converted to members! If only half do, that would more than double the LP’s membership base.

    No body really cares how many tweets you got last night, how many people did you get elected? In Congress, Senate. What big influence did you have unlike the tea party to stop OBAMACARE. Illegal problems in this country. Out of how many people that is in this country this amount is a very smaaaaaaall this is very sad.

    The LP Monday Message should be the LNC had a chance to discuss PLAS & it evidently didn’t even come up.
    Business as usual. Losers in November as usual.
    Well I have some news. I have gotten myself caught up in a bad situation. Today some guy with 2 juveniles came around my house. As I came home he said he was from animal control. He said he was complaints from my neighbors & he was there -unofficially I gathered-before they came to tip me & do something about stray cats. There are some which I feed & try to help out so I was grateful. He asked to borrow a cage I had in my side yard for 3 kittens belonging to a neighbor-Joe-who I knew had litter under his trailer that he feeds. Sure.
    About an hour later several people said there was some guys checking out trailers & gathering stray cats to feed pit bulls.
    I have a small refrigerator next to my large charcoal grill & some other things & some stuff in my 2 vans. I also got a new small chest freezer & had little room for it except in the side yard next to the grill & fridge. Several people mentioned this stuff could get stolen.
    So I called the cops. The 3 had been seen getting into a pickup driven by another(?) & took off.
    I’m going to pursue this because I’m against dog fighting & feeding stray cats to them. I also feel vulnerable to burglary esp. while I’m not at home.
    But I got to thinking. These dog fighting types are not nice people. & it is evidently very popular in some parts of town & lucrative. & illegal. So I have got myself in a bad spot with this.
    So I would appreciate any help I can get.
    If I could move into another trailer or motorhome temporarily, I could fix up my old trailer & sublet & not be here alone for one thing. & I could rent the empty lot next door & put up storage sheds & just have the grill & chairs & umbrella outdoors.
    & I could use some more weapons. I prefer 9mm pistol & rifle-interchangeable ammunition.
    So, any help with this situation would be appreciated.

    Never mind – the “screenshot” changes based on who’s on your friend list. If you’ll excuse me, I need to go hang my head in shame now. :-p

    What’s really awesome is I know both Tim and Aaron on that screenshot! Ha!

    Congratulations to Chuck Moulton and the LP Headquarter Interns for a great idea and persistent marketing. Thanks for the report Wes. You are doing a superb job.
