Consultants and Companies for Advising the Successful Libertarian Campaign

Winning elections is difficult. As Libertarians, it is important to acknowledge the following:

1. If the voter doesn't know you exist except when they go to vote, you rarely will get their vote.

2. The Republicans and Democrats have at least 150 years of experience on winning elections.

3. If you have not been involved with a winning election in the past, why do you expect to have the magic bullet to win a campaign, without learning how to do so?

4. The free market has a wonderful resource - consultants and companies who know what it takes to win.

5. More Libertarian campaigns need to hire consultants and companies to help them win.

6. Hiring consultants and companies for political campaigns is no different than hiring consultants and companies for a business. Why are Libertarians so good at hiring consultants and companies for a business, but not for political campaigns? (This is an enigma I've been trying to figure out for years).

7. Consultants and companies will help Libertarian candidates more effectively raise the resources and use them wisely, so that the voters know of the Libertarian candidate before they vote!

My intention in the next 24 hours is to post about consultants and companies of which I know, or have been recommended to me for Libertarians.
