LP Vice
Chair Arvin Vohra on Reason TV
Arvin Vohra, vice chair of the Libertarian National
Committee and candidate for congress in Maryland's 4th district, was
interviewed by Nick Gillespie on Reason TV.
"When you give [Democrats and Republicans] your vote, you're telling
them 'Go ahead, keep on doing what you're doing,'" Vohra explained.
"And when you vote for the Libertarian candidate you are telling them, in
no uncertain terms, 'You do not have either my approval or my permission to
grow or sustain big government. Shrink it now.'"
Libertarian
Gigi Bowman on the ballot in NY
Gigi
Bowman
Libertarians won a long-fought ballot access victory in court on Friday over
incumbent New York state Sen. Carl Marcellino (R-5th District).
Marcellino and several of his staffers sought to have their sole opponent on
the ballot — Libertarain Gigi Bowman — removed from the ballot by filing a
challenge to her qualifying petition. The 5th Senate district covers portions
of Long Island's north shore in Suffolk and Nassau Counties.
On Sept. 29, the Nassau Supreme Court denied Bowman's motion to dismiss for
late service, and granted her motion to transfer the case to Albany County. On
Friday, Oct. 24, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third
Department, reversed that denial and ruled in favor of Bowman (Wilson et al. v.
Bowman, 3rd Dept. Index No. 519828).

LP with
coalition presses for real NSA reform
The
Hill, Washington D.C.'s newspaper of record that focuses exclusively on
politics,
cited the Libertarian Party as one of the organizations in
a pro–Fourth Amendment coalition that is lobbying to end government mass
surveillance:
Dozens of civil liberties groups are calling on Congress not to stop short
in reforming the National Security Agency.
The Bill of Rights Defense Committee led other organizations in a
letter on Tuesday warning Congress against
stopping with the USA Freedom Act, a bill currently in the Senate that would
end the NSA's bulk collection of Americans' phone records.
Lawmakers should pass that bill 'and then immediately turn your attention to
more meaningful and comprehensive reform of the [NSA's] overreaching and
unconstitutional surveillance practices,' the groups wrote.
Please
donate
today to the Libertarian Party today. Shrink government — expand liberty.
