Re: Invitation to Speak at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention
Dear President Trump and President Biden:
Many people believe the 2024 elections will be the most important election in our lifetimes, and potentially represent an irreversible turning point for the direction of this country. As Libertarians, we recognize the significance of our votes in the upcoming election and the influence that our presidential candidate will have. While we are our own distinct Party and have our distinct views on how this country should be run, we do think it’s important to communicate with leaders of other parties and people who hold great sway over the course of history. We have a list of concerns that we would like to share with you regarding your positions on governance and invite you to respond to us in person at our national convention.
Our convention presents an opportunity to escape the echo chamber of your own party and understand a large, growing, voting bloc of the country which often goes ignored.
Please let me know if you are amenable to joining us. We look forward to sharing this historic opportunity with you.
Very truly yours,
Angela McArdle,
Libertarian National Committee Chair
“For 50 years, we've been trying to get on the main stage with the two major parties' candidates and now it seems like the debates are falling apart. We've decided to flip the tables and invite the candidates to our convention, to join us on our stage. If this election is as important as everyone seems to believe, I think they'll rise to the challenge and join us." - Angela McArdle, Libertarian National Committee Chair
