As I blogged a few weeks ago, I was finally able to become a dues paying Libertarian. This was very important to me for reasons that will become clear over the next couple of years, but primarily because I feel it is important for third party members to pay dues when they are able so that they can advance the views of the party to which they adhere.

Well, today my card came in the mail. So, I am a "card carrying" Libertarian. While I have been a Libertarian for some time now, it's kind of neat to confer a sort of officiality to it all. When I run for the nonpartisan city council in our community next year, I will be able to do so proudly knowing that I am a  representative of my party as well as my community.
