After an inconc usive meeting in July, they agree to reconvene a month later. Their next meeting falls on August 15, the day Nixon announces wagevprice controls and demonetization of the dollar; this goads them into action. Throughout the fall, they contact other libertarians and draft a tentative platform. On December 11, at a meeting in Colorado Springs, the original group plus three additional members votes formally to found the Libertarian Party. Membership passes 100. 1972 A survey of the fledgling party?s members shows Murray Rothbard to be their first choice for a presidential nominee; second is Alan Greenspan. The party's first press conference, held in Denver on January 31, receives international news coverage, including a piece in the New York Hares. At a June nominating convention in Denver held, ironically, the same weekend as the Watergate break-in 89 of the new party?s 300 members adopt a Statement of Principles written by John Hospers and name him as their first Presidential candidate; Tonia Nathan of Oregon is chosen for the VP dot. Susan Nolan is elected Party Chair; Ed Clark becomes Vice Chair. On the ballot in only two states Colorado and Washington the Hospers-Nathan ticket draws about 5,000 votes on Election Day. Six weeks later, on December 18, Roger MacBride of Virginia casts an Electoral Vote for the LP slate, making Tonie Nathan the first woman in history to receive an Electoral Vote. MacBride's act triples public awareness of the LP overnight. 52 ??ltr1075 197d ?1 lul\rErna. . -I I "hl- . 4 . ?wfI a? - i . . ?mm-K -E.I. ?do.
