LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF NEW YORK (516) 767-4688 http://www.ny.lp.org/ Contact: Richard Cooper, State Chair nylibertarian@hotmail.com John Clifton www.electclifton.org; Michael Sylvia mike@mikesylvia.org www.mikesylvia.org; Eric Sundwall info@sundwall4congress.org www. sundwall4congress.org; Steve Finger 917-623-0652 Finger4Congress@aol.com, www.fingerforcongress.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GOP Tries Blocking Libertarian Candidates

Albany, NY 8/31/06 Libertarian Party of New York State Chair Richard Cooper reports that general objections have been filed against both the statewide Libertarian petition and that for Eric Sundwall in the 20th Congressional District. Cooper asks “Are the Republicans and lobbyist John Faso desperate to keep the Libertarians out of the race? They know we won’t hesitate to expose Republicans as deceiving the public with less government rhetoric and big government practice.” The 20th District seat held by Republican John Sweeney is thought to be one of the more competitive this year.

A GOP Town leader from north of NYC approached Libertarian Party gubernatorial candidate John Clifton with a proposition: Clifton should publicly praise Faso for his conservative stands on gun control and other issues. In other words, the GOP leader sought an endorsement in all but name from the competition. Undisclosed future benefits would result. Clifton was not interested. He declines to name this political activist he has known for some time. Cooper says the same person tried to have the Libertarians nominate Faso when Weld dropped out of the race. The approach took place at a recent gathering of the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington-on-Hudson. Cooper declares that “This refusal by Libertarian gubernatorial candidate John Clifton to play political games shows that the Libertarian Party is the Party of Principle.”

Cooper notes that Comptroller candidate John Cain from Congers in Rockland County wore a microphone for investigators when offered a bribe, resulting in convictions. Besides Cain and Clifton, the Libertarians are running Jeffrey Russell for US Senate, Donald Silberger for Lt. Governor, and Christopher Garvey for Attorney-General. On the Congressional line, the Libertarians are running Michael Sylvia in the 24tth District and Dr. Steve Finger in the 11th. –30-

LOL! The liberaltarians can't even down the pot long enough to type a grammatically correct press release.

so nice you had to say it twice?

[ghostmonkey]

Uh no. The liberaltarians have much more in common with the Demonrats than they do with any other political party.

In fact, liberaltarians quite often openly cheer for marxists. As long as they get their hedonism they are happy.

Thanks for posting this. It motivated me to register. And amen to your comment.

[scrabblehack]

What don't you like about it? Would you have said "and that of Eric Sundwall?"

[ghostmonkey]

Here is another rant by a liberaltarian wacko openly cheering for marxists:

[Calvin Coollidge]

LOL. You obviously don't know a lot about Libertarians if you think we are supporters of big government and high taxes.

[Calvin Coollidge]

Umm I just read that "rant." And I did not find any reference to Marxists. Would you point it out to me please?

[KoRn]

"In fact, liberaltarians quite often openly cheer for marxists."

I don't understand how that could be so. Marxist's views are totally contrary to Libertarian views.

[A CA Guy]

I think the bottom line is that if you have enough signatures, you get to run.

That's about all I can think of.

Got any names, or are you just spanking your monkey?

As long as they get their hedonism they are happy.
Not getting any?

[dr_who_2]

...at their own peril.

[ghostmonkey]

Let's see. Liberaltarians support smoking dope, murdering unborn children, the homosexual agenda, destroying the moral foundations of the country, judicial activism (provided that it benefits the liberaltarian agenda), illegal immigration and a host of other debauchery that I don't have the time to list.

Coincidently all of those are also positions held by the Demonrat party.

You also have the little matter of the two articles I posted where liberaltarians openly cheer for demonrats, and say that they prefer the company of liberals to conservatives.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Libertarians should run as Republicans.

The party itself is a complete joke but the message is there. It's the national party that is destroying Libertarians in general. Too much emphasis on open borders and drugs and not enough on low taxes and limited government.

There's plenty of room in the GOP for Libertarians, just as there's a religious wing and a RINO wing.

[Rate_Determining_Step]

Come on! Was it in writing? A quid-pro-quo? And if so, is that illegal?

Sounds like there's not much news-grist for the Big L press release mill these days. Wonder if Howard Stern is doing anything these days. :D
