This morning I was a guest on "Latino Talk Radio". Unfortunately, the host resorted to the old trick of claiming that the Libertarian call for repeal of lifestyle crimes meant that we think it's "OK" (his word) for individuals to use drugs such as heroin and cocaine.
I had expected better of this individual, and I was sorry to see that I was wrong. Nonetheless, I was able to point out how many thousands of crimes of violence and theft go unsolved in Texas, with so much of our law-enforcement effort devoted to lifestyle crimes, and to note that organized crime and terrorist organizations are benefiting from anti-drug laws, so I am glad I had the chance to be on the show.
For Texas and Liberty,
Jeff Daiell

"As far as I can tell, this race is between Republican Debra Medina, Democrat Bill White, and Libertarian Jeff Daiell. Voting for anyone else would be a waste and an affront to liberty and reason."

Those are pretty strong words, and much appreciated!

Texas law places no limits on how much you are allowed to contribute.
Bob Phipps, new Campaign Coordinator in Jasper County, had been active in the Libertarian Party several years ago, then pursued other avenues in the work for Liberty. I am proud that my campaign prompted him to return. I expect Bob will do great work in bringing the campaign's message of free markets and respect for civil liberties to Jasper County and East Texas in general.
I am very pleased and proud to have Bill Grisham as my Bexar County Campaign Coordinator. Bill is an honorable man, with a strong commitment to the Rights of individuals. He is a skilled communicator with considerable knowledge of Texan history. He has been very helpful to the campaign even before this appointment, and I expect he will be an even more important asset to the campaign now.
