6400 cards were submitted in order to exceed the minimum required of 5000. The card counters mysteriously quit at 4489. Seems a bit suspicious.

They appear to have a great case. Took a lot of work to gather 6400 signatures.

I'm not that I want a 100% Libertarian government. But I do want Libertarians to have the voice that they deserve.

Start the letter writing - why are we paying people who refuse to do their job? The Libertarian Party did their part, the state needs to do theirs.

i am a pro-choice, pro-gay republican, but not very libertarian. I dont want a libertarian govt, but i still think they all should be fired, and charged with a crime if it applys (if there is no law then make one so this never happens again)

The Democrats don't want all their loyal stoners to switch to the Libertarian Party.

The two branches of the incumbent party has used every dirty trick in the book to keep the Libertarian Party off the ballot from coast to coast, there are no free elections in the US.

And the Republicans don't want their socially liberal fiscal conservatives to switch either.

For the record these were not petition signatures but were new voter registration cards declaring their party affiliation as Libertarian, I even donated to this drive a year ago.

And I worked it this year - this whole thing just makes me sick.


You play by the rules, and the state refuses to do their jobs.
