Libertarian's say they're growing...

Libertarian's say they're growing...  Donny Ferguson the Director of Communications for the national Libertarian Party today blogged about good news for the LP.  He says Libertarian membership is growing - an oddity for just after a Presidental election.  

Ferguson wrote, "membership totals... topped themselves three of the last four months."  So, why is this happening?  Are disenchanted Republicans joining the LP or is it the people in the middle ground (the independents) are looking for a non-Republican option to stop the spending from Democrats?  Or is it something else?

But probably the mosting interesting of the entire blog was buried at the end.  He wrote, "While major political direct mail fundraising agencies here in D.C. report a 15% drop in response rates compared to last year, the Libertarian Party has seen a 17.5% INCREASE in direct mail response."

ANALYSIS: Some people are motivated... but what will they do NEXT?  Just a few people can make a big difference.
