Libertarian Vanguard Volume 7 Number 1

Notes

  • We probably should cover Donald Trump, but also need to be evenhanded about him. Many in the Libertarian Movement find things to like about him. Maybe we should have a pro and con? Our cons are obviously going to outweigh because of who we are. We should be evenhanded about this, and watch for any signs of possible improvement. ...Or degradation.
  • Intended articles for the 2016 attempt were our endorsed candidates and On the Road with Adam Kokesh (before the scandal).


Cover Page

Possibly swipe the image of Caryn Ann from the 2016 prototype? Use a better quality version? Who took the photo?


Featured Article Candidates

  • Vanguard:George Soros Brings it Home -- We probably need an article about Charlottesville but we really need to carefully navigate the minefield. If we can't we don't print the article. The article must be consistent with the views of everyone in the caucus who hasn't been herded into doing exactly what Soros wants. Points of conflict legitimately within the Libertarian Party and movement should be kept outside of the scope of the article. Need to create this page: Vanguard Policies. This article might fall under Worldview, especially if it dives heavily into other crap Soros is responsible for.


Additional Article Candidates

Newspoint

Worldview

Movement Update

Can be about the party as well as something happening elsewhere. Our growing party numbers and hov to be compelling enough to attract more?

Issue Analysis

Vanguard Viewpoint

Possibilities

  • Trademarks and the LNC


Brickbats & Bouquets

Brickbats

  • Alicia Mattson has earned a brickbat for her attempt to use trademarks to halt all activities not directly authorized by the LNC -- unless this is covered in greater detail elsewhere.
  • The LNC, for a series of embarrassing and/or harmful public statements, such as stating that North Korea was more free than the US based solely on its recreational drug policy.

Bouquets

Books

Any recent books we wish to discuss.


Vanguard Archive

Depending on how soon we can get scans from issues in 1982, 35 years ago.


Letters

As we don't have access to the final letters sent concerning the previous issue, do we have any emails sent to the Caucus that might be appropriate? Even if it's only 1 or 2?


Who We Are

This might not change much; need at least a mockup soon.
