Thank you, Mike.

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.   Voting and running for
office are only two of the activities, and activism, that we will focus on.
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 ....
