The Humble Libertarian Contest (Win Prizes!)

A Don't Tread On Me T-shirt, one of the prizes courtesy of ReTeaParty.com

Hey folks! This blog has been growing in leaps and bounds since I started it just six months ago and to celebrate the Humble Libertarian's 6-month anniversary (which is on April 2nd), I am running a contest to have a little fun and to attract some more regular readers to this growing community of liberty-lovers!

How To Enter

All you have to do to enter is subscribe to this blog via e-mail.

The deadline is the end of the day on April 2nd. Subscribing is free of any cost or obligation. After you subscribe, you will get no more than one e-mail a day with updates from the Humble Libertarian so you can conveniently stay up to date on our unique analysis and commentary.

As for all of you who are already subscribed to this blog via e-mail- don't sweat it! You're going to be entered into the competition too. As of the publication of this post, I have 14 e-mail subscribers including myself (and I'm not up for a prize, obviously). There's no way I would penalize you guys for being loyal readers from the very beginning!

The Prizes Up For Grabs

I will select winners by a random drawing out of the pool of e-mail subscribers on April 3rd. There will be three winners:

3rd place - A "Don't Tread On Me" Bumper Sticker from ReTeaParty.com

2nd place - A "Don't Tread On Me" T-shirt from ReTeaParty.com

AND...

The 1st place GRAND PRIZE - A "Don't Tread On Me" T-Shirt AND Bumper Sticker (also courtesy of ReTeaParty.com), as well as a copy of "The Revolution: A Manifesto" by Congressman Ron Paul (Amazon.com's "Most Loved" Book of 2008):

The Legal Stuff

I will need a name and shipping address for winners so that I can ship you your prizes, and when I announce the winners, I would like to announce them by first name and state. If you'd rather that I didn't, you can decline the prize and I'll draw another e-mail address from the pool.

I will be contacting the winners via the e-mail address they used to subscribe, so make sure it's one you really use. I also will not publish, sell, or make available to a third party in any way, your e-mail address if you subscribe, or any other private information you give me like a shipping address if you win.

You can unsubscribe at any time hassle free by clicking the "unsubscribe" link which is at the bottom of every e-mail. Here's a list of reasons that I'm betting you'll want to stay subscribed.

This is just a fun contest and I reserve the right to change the terms of the contest as necessary. I'm sure it won't happen, but it never hurts to say so in writing just in case.

The Sponsor - PEAC PAC

The Political Exploration and Awareness Committee, PAC (PEAC PAC) is a grassroots effort to provide support and organization for independent individuals and organizations to organize events more efficiently. They operate a few websites that I help contribute articles to such as:

ReTeaParty.com
Schiff2010.com
Rand2010.com
JudgeNapolitano.com
I personally support their efforts, love the political activism they are bringing to the table, and am honored to have their sponsorship to make great prizes available for this contest.

Also: thanks to TheFreeSite.com for listing this contest on its website.

Obama keeps pushing the bipartisan religion of interventionism

Michael Scheuer is deadly accurate - foreign interventionism is a bipartisan religion (or disease, whichever you prefer). Too often, I believe, Americans think about Washington’s interventionism only as the actual physical intervention of U.S. military forces abroad in places where no U.S. interest is at risk. That activity certainly is intervention, but President Obama’s despicable decision last week to have his administration leak intelligence claiming that Israel has concluded an agreement with the government of Azerbaijan to allow its use of Azeri airfields for an air strike on Iran is just as much an unwarranted intervention by the United States government. Readers of this blog will know that I carry no brief for Israel, that I believe it is a state that is irrelevant to U.S. national interests, and one whose U.S.-citizen supporters are disloyal to America and involved in activities that compromise U.S. security and corrupt the U.S. political system. That said, Israel — l...

How Thorough a Brainwashing

Saw this on Facebook: Left this comment: It's more thorough of a wash job than that. They don't just believe they are not brainwashed, the question has never occurred to them and as long as they keep reading TIME and watching MTV, it's *impossible* for the question to occur to them. Oh brave new world, that has such people in it. EDIT: And one more thing-- don't ever stop considering what questions it is currently impossible to occur to you . This is what I've been thinking about a lot lately and I'm worried just how large and numerous my own blindspots are. The only solution is to be as intellectually curious as possible. To learn voraciously. To read things that challenge us. To read things that are hard for us to understand and then try to understand them. To expose ourselves to ideas far removed from our present culture and place on the timeline. Read old books. Read foreign books. Turn off the TV. You have already absorbed its biases and blindspots. ...

How To Gain More Twitter Followers

Earlier today, I wrote : "My goal is to write a book before the end of March. My goal is to spend no more than a week from start to publication, spending as much time as I need in order to get it done during that week. My goal is to give it away to you for free here on HumbleLibertarian.com. What's a goal you have? Something you may have been putting off for years? Something you could accomplish in one month if you were determined? If it's near-term enough of a goal, and specific enough of a goal, and you share it in the comments below, feel free to tell me how I can help you and I'll do whatever I can. If it's a libertarian / news / politics-related goal, my manner of help would be easy to determine. I could promote it, introduce you to someone via email, (etc.). If it's something apolitical like quit smoking cigarettes, start exercising, learn guitar, start a business, gain more Twitter followers, learn another language, eat a paleo diet, or...
