MdLP 2010 State Convention - A Huge Success

The MdLP experienced a great State Convention in 2010.  Here are some of the highlights.

Were treated with listening to Wes Benedict, the Libertarian Party's Executive Director, who offered some his advice and experiences from when he was the Chair of the Texas LP. 

Paul Jacob, a Liberty Warrior in the trenches for decades, gave us his 10 Commandments, these will be included in a separate post with links to his website.

We had a speaker about a possible Constitution Convention in the State of Maryland, with a question on the ballot in November.  Here is a link to the website.  Until he "comes out officially" we will keep him nameless.

There is no change on the Executive Board as the Central Committee elected the following individuals:
  • Chair: Robert S. Johnston III
  • Vice-Chair: Dave Sten
  • Treasurer: Michael Linder
  • Secretary: Robert E. Glaser
  • Media: Muir Boda
  • At-Large: Lorenzo Gaztañaga
  • At-Large: Justin Kinsey

Two individuals were nominated for Maryland House of Delegates:
Arvin Vohra for District 15 
          Jerry McKinley for District 42.

 Two awards were handed out at the Convention.
Samuel P. Chase Award:  Joe Miller

Defender of Liberty Award: Gary Hoover
Our featured speaker for the evening Radley Balko is a Senior Editor at Reason Magazine.  He provided us  with a positive outlook on the Liberty Movement and some great advances on that front.  He also gave some great quotes from his research like this:
"Support for legalizing Marijuana is higher than the support for the Republican or Democratic Parties."


On behalf of those that attended, we wish to thank MdLP Chair Bob Johnston for putting together another great convention.
