COLUMBUS DISPATCH EXCLUDES IRVINE FOR CONGRESS CAMPAIGN FROM EDITORIAL BOARD MEETING; EDITORS SAY INCULDING THIRD PARTIES WOULD BE “A LOGISTICAL DIFFICULTY” FOR NEWSPAPER TO HANDLE

Columbus, OH – September 1, 2010  – Libertarian candidate Travis Irvine was excluded from a private editorial board meeting concerning the U.S. Congressional race in Ohio’s 12th District, which was held by various staff of The Columbus Dispatch and included Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi and Democrat challenger Paula Brooks on Monday. Irvine was never told of the meeting and was not even mentioned in an article about the event featured in the Dispatch yesterday.

Dear Friend of Liberty,


Liberty is the natural state of humankind, yet true liberty must be won, re-won and won time and again. If people become negligent, lethargic or indifferent, then liberty becomes a mere memory as we move about like clones in a statist world. Liberty is the element that allows each of us to express and exhibit our unique qualities. Liberty is the source of color in the fabric of our lives.

As Libertarians, we understand, we appreciate the value of liberty for allowing each of us to reach our full potential as human beings. Liberty also allows us to squander our gifts, our talents and our time.  It seems to me that we, Libertarians and others, often take our liberty for granted. We ramble along living our day-to-day existence and rarely contemplate the state of our lives. We seldom measure our status on the “liberty meter.”

Once in a while, though, we are forced to confront threats that clearly challenge our natural rights to be who  we are and who we wish to be.  These threats are not necessarily martial or physical, but are more often ideologically, politically and philosophically driven.

In Freedom,
Charlie Earl
