Your Premier Source on Third Parties and Independent Candidates Since 2008
Massachusetts LP activist George Phillies has released the March issue of his monthly newsletter Liberty for America yesterday. The newsletter presents news and views about the LP. The online version can be viewed at the following link:

I've been a contributor for IPR since January 2013. I consider myself to be a paleoconservative. I'm also the founder of American Third Party Report. Email me at [email protected].

According to my understanding of what Ron Nielson told me, those high rates include the part that has not been paid, ie the “debt”, and thus are as theoretical as the debt is.
Interesting read as always, George!
Btw, I wanted to send some money to support your reporting (and the mailed copy you send), but your Donor Town Square subscription link no longer works (Donor Town Square was sold to Click & Pledge).
GP: “For starters, annualized hourly rate, Johnson’s campaign manager (“senior political advisor”) appears to have set the all-time Libertarian Presidential Campaign Manager record for pay rate.”
me: The hourly rate may or may not be “too high” but to call it “annualized” looks like a stretch. If you look at what a college prof gets paid and only include time spent with students and perhaps staff meetings, they are often paid at what appear to be very high “hourly” rates. But, then, profs are expected to do research and other stuff to stay current, etc.
Those who get paid on a billable hour basis don’t always work 40hrs * 50 weeks. They often bill fewer hours than that.
Twisted analysis.
Thanks to George Phillies for all his work on this publication.
I am not a fan of Johnson’s answers, or lack thereof, regarding campaign spending.
While I disagree with Mr. Phillies on several issues, namely Dr. Ron Paul and his contribution to the Liberty Movement, I commend him for this publication. It’s a very interesting and certainly worthwhile read.
