Registering Independent

After 25 years of voting Libertarian, I've decided to hang it up and register as an independent.

For many years, I've had misgivings about the idealogues who dominate the Libertarian Party. I got more involved, even running for the California Senate as a Libertarian, hoping I could influence the party to become more moderate, practical, grown up -- however you want to say it. But recent news that childish infighting has consumed the leadership of the California LP was the last straw for me.

I'm still very much a libertarian. And I will continue to be involved in politics and my community. I wish much luck to my fellow moderate libertarians who are still trying to reform the Libertarian Party, but I now know in my heart that I just don't like political parties.
