From Eric Dondero:

Leftists may shreik. But Libertarians, un-ashamed capitalists to the core, will be holding their Bi-Annual National Convention in St. Louis this weekend, at the luxorious downtown Renassiance Grand Hotel. Part of the Marriot chain, the hotel is described as both "distinctive and stylish."

About 600 to 800 delegates are expected to attend. Platform planks will be decided upon. Party administration business will be taken care of.

At main issue is the race for all-important Party Chair. Among the candidates include: author of "Republican Millionaire," Sports Oddsmaker and frequent Fox News guest Wayne Allyn Root of Las Vegas, longtime California Libertarian and former candidate for statewide office Mark Hinkle, and former Libertarian Party of Massachusetts Chairman George Phillies.

Speakers confirmed include former Republican Congressman Bob Barr of Georgia, and 2004 Liberarian Presidential candidate Michael Badnarik.

For more information visit the official convention website: GatewaytoLiberty.com, hosted of course, by the Libertarian Party of Missouri.

Note - the LP of Missouri is regarded as one of the most successful Libertarian affiliates in the Nation. Over 20 Libertarian Party members currently hold public office in the State, including one small town Mayor, and two members of the Springfield (pop. 80,000) City Council.
