Books on Strategy

Stand Up for Liberty A Book of Libertarian Political Strategy Had enough? Are you tired of elections in which our candidates work hard, do all the right things, and are delighted when they break into double digits? Are you tired of elections in which the list of our candidates is much, much longer than the list of victories? Would you like to become the majority party? If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got. It's time to do something different. We've been trying to win via Membership Recruitment, and it hasn't worked. It's time to win with a strategy that actually works: Local Organization. Stand Up for Liberty! presents the election-winning, party-building Local Organization strategy. Local Organization has roles for local, state, and Federal groups. Local organization emphasizes running lots of candidates, and supporting them.

The New Path Plan is downloadable here for free. The New Path Plan (2010) offers a new strategic direction for our National Libertarian Party.

Libertarian Renaissance proposes a systematic plan for fixing the difficulties that ail the Libertarian Party. The objective is majority party status for Libertarians. For the past decade and a half, up until 2016, the national Libertarian Party has been in decline. Membership and donations have fallen; activism has decreased. In the non-fiction essay Libertarian Renaissance, we present a detailed plan, including timelines, recruiting targets, and organization Changes, to set the Libertarian Party on the path to political majority status.
