Equitably, of course, you may want to share with others information that you generate on the same subject. Through this network also flow data regarding specific and possible threats to personal liberty. As a warning system, such a network could be worth its weight in gold to anyone interested in preserving what freedom they enjoy. At a time when media events have become such powerful levers of social action, and strong delineators of the material and limits of public debate, access to public forums becomes a valuable protector of existing freedoms and a tool with which to enlarge the possibilities of future freedom. The Libertarian Party, as the third largest political party in the country, automatically assures greater access to public forums than single voices.
Libertarian ideas are in and of themselves powerful and convincing.
The more who hear them, the more who join the cause of liberty. In general, it is felt by members of the Libertarian Party, the existence of an organization with a substantial number of members and with access to public forums, provides a sort of public legitimization for ideas which otherwise might be heard as merely idiosyncratic. Libertarians, of course, know that the idiosyncratic, also, represents the authentic accent of freedom but, just as access to forums is aided by a publicly recognizable base of numbers of people, so are the arguments in those public forums made more propagandistically substantial by issuance from a movement of substance. If, therefore, you regard it as useful to be able to speak of your own libertarian ideas to more people, and to have that conversation more firmly founded, joining with others in the Libertarian Party may be seen as providing actual value for your own personal participation in public forums. It is also consistent, for many libertarians, to take whatever advantage they can of the situation in order to rectify it on behalf of individuals.
