Libertarian Party National Convention Photos
July 1-5, 1998
Washington, D.C.


  Former Libertarian Party Chair Jim Turney and his evil twin.


Californian Starchild


Left: former L.P. Chair and current National Director Steve Dasbach.
Right: 1998 Platform Committee Chair John Buttrick. (He is descended from Major
John Buttrick, a leader of the militia under Col. James Barrett at Concord, MA
on April 19, 1775.  After the British fired on the militiamen Buttrick
 gave the command, "Fire, fellow soldiers, for God's sake, fire!")


Left: Harry Brown, 1996 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate
Right: Jacob Hornberger of the Future of Freedom Foundation.
Both have discussed the possibility of running for the
Libertarian Party Presidential nomination in 2000.


One Libertarian Party member was frustrated that party leaders showed
little interest in promoting a party resolution calling for the impeachment
of President Bill Clinton.  In protest, he burned an American flag--one which had flown
over the U.S. Capitol building--outside the Libertarian National Convention on July 4, 1998.


  Carol Moore ran for Secretary of the Libertarian National Committee to protest the leading candidates' actions on the Platform Committee which called  for the party to be neutral on womens' abortion rights, took "abolish BATF" out of the  platform and didn't make putting "abolish FBI" back in a top priority.
(The first two failed; the last was not accomplished.)
In her July 5, 1998 speech to delegates she said if elected she would work to have the party call for the the impeachment of President Bill Clinton for his obstruction of justice and violations of the Constitution in the deaths of 82 Branch Davidians near Waco in 1993, as well as his other crimes against liberty.  Members of the Minnesota delegation later proposed an impeachment resolution from the floor and it was passed
overwhelmingly by voice vote. 
(Note: Carol Moore is descended from Col. James Barrett, commander of the militia at Concord, MA on April 19, 1775.  His farm, where most of the weapons were stored, was the object of the British expedition from Boston.  DISCLAIMER: Even though Carol thinks burning flags is just peachy, as long as it doesn't hurt persons or property, some of his other descendents might disagree.)
