The weather is starting to relent and return to the sunshine we all enjoy here in Wake County. Spring is on the way. And that means it is time again for the Libertarian Party of Wake County annual convention!

The liberty movement is growing fast in Wake County. We recently recorded our 3,000th registered Libertarian voter. (The most of any county in North Carolina!) This is an amazing time to be a part of this growing movement.

In convention we will be nominating and voting on elected officers for the 2014–2015 political year, an exciting election year with our second state-level primary in history!

If you are looking to get more involved and would like to run for a county office, we encourage you to do so. The four offices to be elected are comprised of Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary.

The liberty movement is growing like crazy right here in Wake County. In fact, just this January, Wake County register its 3,000th Libertarian voter. That is the largest population of Libertarian voters in any county in North Carolina. But there is still a lot of work to do.

Join us for the annual Libertarian Party of Wake County Convention on Wednesday, March 26, 7:00pm at The Gourmet Factory on Western Blvd just inside the belt line.

Socio-economic freedom and environmental concern are rarely perceived as traveling hand-in-hand. The “green” movement, generally existing on the political left, tends to favor increased regulatory and financial authority at all levels of government as its preferred vehicle in prioritizing environmentally sustainable ends. So deeply is this approach engrained, that discussion about environmental issues at all levels seem to only be concerned with ways government can do more.
