A few weeks back I asked readers to donate to help us distribute copies of TAC at the Campaign for Liberty regional conference that took place this past weekend at Valley Forge. C4L had a larger-than-expected turnout, but thanks to you, we had magazines for the welcome packets of all 650 registered attendees. C4L’s conference [...]

The American Conservative needs your help. In September, we’d like to distribute the magazine to attendees at the Campaign for Liberty’s Valley Forge conference. This will get the magazine into the hands of several hundred people highly sympathetic to the magazine’s positions on peace, sound money, civil liberties, and constitutional conservatism. It’ll cost us $200 [...]

Yes, Jesse Venture, former Reform Party governor of Minnesota, said he might run for president in 2012, at Ron Paul’s Rally for the Republic today. I doubt he actually will make the effort — although in his talk he called for leveling the playing field for third parties, he knows full well that any third-party [...]

What could be more helpful in the midst of a hurricane than a politician? If there is flooding in New Orleans, I’m sure the victims will say, “Don’t send food, water, money, medical supplies–send us candidates!”
While Bush and other great samaritan-statesmen are skipping out on the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, so they can [...]
Certainly all the attempts by the media to conjure the Spirit of ‘68 when speculating about the demonstrations outside the Republican and Democratic conventions at the end of the month are in vain. In fact, sadly misplaced. While there is definitely a very active contingent of activists out there that would like to put [...]
Conservative student publications on campuses across the country serve as farm teams for the Right. TAC intern Patrick Ford, for example, comes to us from the GW Patriot at George Washington University. And for that matter, I got my own start with a campus conservative publication I co-founded at another Washington — the Washington Witness [...]
