We try to avoid limiting it to just "libertarians" and try to be inclusive of all "liberty-minded individuals." We DO have Canadians as members of the FSP, though.

But clearly by concentrating in one relatively small political unit, working together, and building bridges, we think we can make some progress. One state out of 50 might actually be free some day .... Alan
