HEY PEOPLE CAN WE HAVE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THIS THAT IS A LIBERTARIAN PLEEEEEAAAASE.

I wrote an email to Shane Cory and was asking about the libertarian office executive, getting involved running and etc. I recieve no reply, none. They said they are overdue for elected officials. Well I guess they are not interested in having the officials elected since I have received no reply for the Libertarian office.

New Libertarian,
What are your qualifications for the executive director position?

Let me rephrase that, I wanted to know more about what is involved and what is available in the Libertarian office. I also want to know do you have to be in a certain state or can you help from where you live?

I would like to find out, how can I start a liberty store of my own with my own stickers that I can post on here. Maybe teeshirts, is this possible.
I have very good ideas to make a strong point and hope people will get notice. I need feedback on this.
Thank you.

Since libertarianism is a political idea and not just a party, I don't think you would need permission to do something like that. Though I think it would violate copyrights if you were to use the party's logo or something like that without permission.

I know we're talking about congressional races here, but I wanted to know if it's possible to run for city council without any economic or business background. I think about running sometimes, but everyone who runs has owned a small business at some time, or has some business degree. I understand the importance, since you work with budgets, but as a libertarian, I have a pretty good idea of what is wasteful spending or not.

BPerry I suggest you try running, you are one of the little guys and put forth your understand what it is to be on the little guy foot.

Is the LP keeping tabs on how the NJ gubernatorial race is going? It's the only state this year with a Libertarian running for governor, Jeff Pawlowski.

I know there was a blog post about this a while back, and I think we should focus on races with existing LP candidates. For districts where the LP has a chance of winning, the particular state LP should call around for a candidate.

The Pawlowski campaign has a website at http://www.pawlowski2005.org/. He was excluded from the first debate held Sept. 26, so the campaign is preparing a "debate the debate" video for his website, in which Jeff will give his answers to the questions that were asked at the televised debate. Future debates are planned but have not yet been scheduled.

ANYONE LISTENING, we need to have on the right side easy access to people running or nominations for election, rather then trying to find it all over the place on a blog.

I see there are people announcing, but we need easy access.
Thank you.

Now we got some people up for running, we need to post on the news of Yahoo.com

For Freedom, are you a native speaker? I'm just wondering because your English is horrible. But if you weren't born in the United States, I'll cut you some slack.

Your concerned about my grammer. Maybe some of us are just tired. There are those who are in elective office here who's grammer are poor. Be concerned about the bigger issues here, because in spite of my grammer I have more life smarts and common sense then most.

Why isn't this lovely site a link here? It even has a burning java torch, this was something I suggested for this site. When you look at it, it stick in your mind.
I think everyone should make copies of this take the smallest quiz and post it everywhere. I still talk to people and they do not have a clue what we are about.

I just had an idea. The libertarian party should have "run for office" kits. Anyone running for office should receive templates for yard signs, bumper stickers, and some party literature free of charge. These things wouldn't cost much to put together, and if every libertarian candidate was using a sign and bumper sticker format that was more or less identical, it would help people recognize the party immidiately, and present a sense of solidarity. We could make our presence known in local elections on a wider scale at very little cost to the party, and since this stuff could be preparded in a short period and sent out to candidates, we could swoop down on elections like this one. The green party does this, and has met with some success. Just as they use green yard signs and increase their visability, we should adopt a color format, and send a template using this format to anyone who requests one to run on a libertarian platform. At the very least, we need to develop an election response protocol that will allow us to place a candidate into elections quickly at little cost. Votes will only come if there's a libertarian in almost every race, and people remember us.

"With the competitive nature of the race, a Libertarian candidate could make a significant impact; acting as a 'spoiler'."
---------------------
Why go into a race with a defeatist attitude? It may be realistic to assume that the best the LP can do is serve as a spoiler, but somewhere, sometime, someone is going to be the first Libertarian elected to Congress.

There's no incumbent in this race, so the odds of winning just went up by about 95%. The district is split fairly evenly between Democrats and Republicans, so a libertarian centrist would only need about 35% of the vote to win. Off-year Congressional election turnout is usually pretty low, so you're only looking at maybe 10-15% of the population to get a victory.

I understand that it's a lot easier said than done, but a major political party (as the LP aspires to be) should be looking at what it might take to win, not stating publicly that it's impossible from the outset.

Targeting races against non-incumbents in evenly split Dem/Rep districts is a great start.

KRAMER you said exactly what I have said numerious times, you worded it different. I just hope they follow through.

I just want to say that the notion that the Ohio LP doesn't have a man in the gubernatorial race is patently WRONG and I don't know how they could have missed the prominent link from the LPO website (http://lpo.org/ ).

In fact, he's probably one of othe more interesting candidates in a while: 20-year Case Western Reserve Economics Professor, Bill Peirce

Stephen,
The race described above is a congressional race, not a gubernatorial race. How you could have missed that....

Stephen, maybe next time YOU should read more carefully.

It would be great if a good Libertarian in Ohio
CD6 would file for this seat.We need to be competitive at the grassroots level.I hope we can
work to repeal laws designed to weed out our's and
other third parties,as well.

I think that the views of the Libertarian movement are needed greatly in our area, I just recently became aware of this party and I agree with alot of the things that it stands for. I would like more information if anyone would like to email some stuff to me about it.
