Barr Campaign -- the Spending Continues

The Barr Campaign continued spending and paying off debt through the end of December. The biggest news, of course, is that the Barr campaign never had any formal signed contract with the national party, and is refusing to hand over its donor and volunteer lists to the National Party for future party building efforts. This follows on to the Barr Campaign's apparent effort to hide as much as possible that Barr was a Libertarian. As a party building effort, Barr 2008 was thus a complete failure.

Some Libertarians still are on the Barr 2008 campaign effort as Field Consultants. You might want to take into consideration in evaluating what they are saying about Barr that from late November through to the end of December payments included
