GA: Libertarians Reach Out to Local Democrats

From the Rockdale Citizen:

As a Libertarian, Randy Reynolds said his appearance at Friday’s county Democratic Party meeting was “a missionary effort,” but it’s a trip more to find common ground than converts. Reynolds, chairman of the Rockdale County Libertarian Party, will be the guest speaker of the Rockdale County Democratic Party at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the J.P. Carr Community Room, located at 981 Taylor St.

Reynolds said he plans to do an informative talk on the Libertarian Party, policy advocacy and the party’s current ballot access. “I will be trying get people on board intellectually and emotionally, and then ask some rhetorical questions,” he said. Reynolds’ talk with local Democrats stemmed from an effort between him and Rockdale Democratic Chairman Stan Williams to search for common ground among them on, at least, local issues. Williams was the guest speaker at the Libertarians’ party meeting recently. Friday’s meeting will return the favor, Reynolds said. Reynolds noted recent national polls that show Democrats and Republicans sympathize equally on issues the Libertarians advocate.
