WASHINGTON -- The front page of Wednesday’s Politico was a sea of plummeting blue arrows as the paper reported on the slumping approval ratings of major Democrat officials across the nation.  America’s third largest party notes the rapid decline in support for Democrats, with support for Republicans still at record lows, is more proof Americans are looking for Libertarian solutions to the nation’s problems.

WASHINGTON -- America’s third largest party Wednesday reminded members of the Senate Judiciary Committee their vote for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was a vote against constitutionally-guaranteed gun rights and those who vote to confirm in the full Senate next week can expect to be held accountable at the polls.

Here are just a few of the opportunities this week to see, hear and read Libertarians in the mainstream media. 

Along with these broadcast radio, television and cable news appearances, 2008 presidential candidate Bob Barr contributes to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution here at The Barr Code.

Tell your friends to tune in, and if your local Libertarian officials are appearing on broadcast television or radio, forward the information to media@lp.org.

WASHINGTON -- America’s third largest party Tuesday urged Congress to take its time deliberating the proposed government takeover of the nation’s health care system amid pressure from the White House to quickly adopt the troubled proposal quickly and with minimal debate.  Libertarians oppose the plan, which deepens the federal budget deficit and leads to the rationing of basic health care.

WASHINGTON -- America’s third largest party reiterated its opposition Wednesday to the Supreme Court nomination of federal judge Sonia Sotomayor after the nominee refused to give a firm answer on whether individuals have the right of self-defense.
