In keeping with our renewed emphasis on education, 1988 saw the launching of Freedom Party's second recurring publication, Consent, a journal of ideas and opinions on individual freedom.
As the publication of a political party dedicated to individual rights and freedoms, Consent's purpose is twofold: 1) It allows for an in-depth examination of issues; 2) It allows us to discuss issues or subjects not normally within Freedom Party's narrowly-defined political jurisdiction. Because freedom is a universal issue.
Currently published six times a year and written largely by Freedom Party executive, members, supporters, and associates, Consent's first year of publication has produced an impressive array of essays, commentaries, and opinions on subjects ranging from the serious issue of apartheid in South Africa to our humourous looks at the words which shape politics. Selected cartoon and comic strip reprints occasionally decorate its pages.
Consent is mailed to all Freedom Party members and supporters who have contributed an annual minimum of $25 (tax-creditable!) to Freedom Party. It is also being mailed to subscribers outside Ontario, including a growing number of readers in the United States.
Our commendations must be extended to managing editor Robert Vaughan. Were it not for his efforts and persistence, Consent would likely still be an idea on a drawing board.
We are always on the lookout for submissions and articles from our members and supporters. Sorry, we are not as yet in a position to offer remuneration for articles published; like all our funding, we depend entirely upon voluntary contributions.
Following is a list of articles and essays which appeared in the pages of Consent's first year:
