more bad laws we supposedly need, more taxes, more war, and higher government
spending?

On the new LP radio show "Libertarians Working for You," candidates have pledged to sponsor legislation to improve American education by eliminating the Department of Education, to improve safety by ending the War on Drugs, and to build the economy and increase jobs by ending federal and state income taxes.

Two Ohio LP
Statewide Candidates On The Ballot In November
Bob Bridges
Kevin Knedler
Libertarian
Andrew Hunt for Governor in Georgia Polling 9%
Dr. Andrew Hunt
Republican incumbent Nathan Deal is at 41 percent, Democrat Jason Carter 37 percent, and 13 percent are undecided.
Rasmussen
Poll shows 53% think neither Democrats nor Republicans represent the American
people
Here are the key findings from a survey of
1,000 likely U.S. voters conducted on April 19–20, 2014, by Rasmussen Reports
and other recent surveys:
Montana
Supreme Court blocks "top-two" measure from 2014 ballot
In a victory for the Libertarian Party, the Montana Supreme Court ruled on March 25 that legislative referendum LR 127, which would have established top-two primary elections in the state, will not be placed on the general election ballot this November.
Top-two measures allow only the top two vote-getters in primary elections to be on the general election ballot. This severely reduces the chance of a third party candidate surviving the primary election.
"Republicans had placed LR 127 on the ballot in an effort to eliminate Libertarians from the general election," said Mike Fellows, chair of the Montana Libertarian Party. "Montana voters want their views to be heard, and LR 127 would limit those views."
The Billings Gazette called the Libertarian Party "formidable" and notes that it "has begun to pull voters away from the GOP base."
Libertarian
Party says US military needs to get out of Japan
In
response to a Washington Post story about an army general's mishandling of an
assault case in Japan, Libertarian Party Political Director Carla Howell made
the following statement on Press TV:
U.S. military personnel, especially those in leadership positions, must be held to high standards. Refusing to investigate allegations of assault or to prosecute offenders appropriately is unacceptable.
There have been reports of American soldiers committing crimes around U.S. bases in Japan for decades. Yet the response on the part of military officials remains inadequate.
But we need to ask a more fundamental question: Why arethere U.S. military bases in Japan?
World War II ended almost 70 years ago. That's seven-zero — 70 — years ago. Why do we still have troops there?
Japan is one of the wealthiest and most industrialized nations in the world, fully capable of defending its people militarily. There is no justification for the U.S. to maintain costly and unnecessary bases there or to keep our troops separated from their families.
We must close the U.S. military bases in Japan and bring our troops home.

Republican incumbent Nathan Deal is at 41 percent, Democrat Jason Carter 37 percent, and 13 percent are undecided.
Here are the key findings from a survey of
1,000 likely U.S. voters conducted on April 19–20, 2014, by Rasmussen Reports
and other recent surveys:- 53 percent of likely U.S. voters think it is fair to
say that neither party in Congress is the party of the American people.
That's up six points from 47 percent last
October, and matches the previous high found in
June 2012 during the last national election cycle. Just 28 percent
disagree, while 19 percent are not sure.
- Just 6
percent of voters now think Congress is doing a good or excellent job,
and 72 percent say it would be better
for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this
November.
- 52 percent of Republicans and a plurality (44 percent)
of Democrats agree that neither major political party is the party of the
American people. But 65 percent of voters not affiliated with either party
feel that way.
In a victory for the Libertarian Party, the Montana Supreme Court ruled on March 25 that legislative referendum LR 127, which would have established top-two primary elections in the state, will not be placed on the general election ballot this November.
