Blogs to watch

With the advent of Really Simple Syndication (RSS), we can easily take a daily glance at the political scene across the state and beyond. Below are some blogs that should interest the libertarian political observer.

Please note, however, that the Libertarian Party has no control over this content, which is from other publishers. We are aggregating their recent headlines automatically as a service for our readers because in the recent past, these have had interesting posts. The "blogosphere" is fairly new terrain, and changes constantly. The blogs are checked automatically for new content a few times a day for our site. The list of highlighted blogs will change in the future based on feedback. We strive to feature the highest quality, most frequently updated and most libertarian political blogs out there, especially ones focussing on New York.

Please let us know if you have suggestions for this page--subtractions, additions, or fixes needed. We especially want to know if you've launched your own libertarian blog!
