Mike Labno, Libertarian Candidate for US Senate (IL) Responds to Partial Senatorial Debate Organizes Protest of Debate OAK BROOK, IL - OCTOBER 27, 2010

The Mike Labno, Libertarian candidate for the US and Lex Green, Libertarian candidate for Illinois Governor, as well as Green Party and Independent candidates are being excluded from the WTTW "Chicago Tonight" candidate forums for Senator and Governor, tonight and tomorrow evenings, hosted by the City Club of Chicago. We believe that WTTW, as a public station, is in breach of it's statutory mandate regarding "strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature"

Further, we believe that sponsor of the forums, the City Club of Chicago, is in violation of

it's 501(c)(3) non-profit status by funding a forum which "has the effect

of favoring a candidate or group of candidates"

We are organizing a demonstration for 6:00 p.m. Wednesday 10/27/10 outside

of WTTW studios, 5400 St. Louis Ave. All excluded candidates have been invited to participate.

Neither the producers of WTTW's Chicago Tonight or board members of the City Club of Chicago have responded yet to inquiries made by Mike Labno's representatives.

Mike Labno is the Libertarian candidate for US Senate. He resides in Oak Brook, IL. He is the only pro-life, pro-second amendment, fiscal and constitutional conservative on the ballot. For more information visit https://www.labno4senate.com.

Everyone who cares about liberty and conservatism should come out and support Labno if they are in the area. Below is the message from Mike.

Michael Labno for US Senate (IL) "We have issued a press release and invited all supporters to attend the protest of the debate tonight at 6:00 pm at 5400 St. Louis Ave. at the WTTW studios. I will be there and I have it on good authority that FoxNews will be there. Please help me by showing up and protesting their exclusion of the only PRO-LIFE, PRO-GUN candidate. Change can only occur when the masses demand it."

I voted for him, yesterday.

He wants IMMEDIATE withdrawal of our troops from both Iraq and Afghanistan and “the promotion of peace and commerce is our best political strategy for future relations”.

“Our presence in Afghanistan and Iraq is a threat to Iran, and if we are not very careful with our actions, our delicate relationships with Russia and China could take a turn for the worse and lead to unimaginable warfare. Regardless of any actions, Iran will acquire nuclear weapons if they so desire. It is best that we encourage peaceful relations based upon commerce in order to avoid the use of these weapons.”

He supports open borders, dope, gay marriage and the usual Libertarian left wing nonsense.

I voted for him, yesterday.

Another vote for Senate Majority Leader Durbin checks in.

If I thought that the race would be close, I would have voted for Kirk, since I didn’t want to help split the anti-Alexi vote, helping Alexi win, with 48%-50% of the vote. I think that the winner will win by at least 5%, so I voted for the only candidate, in that race, who is pro-tax cuts, pro-spending cuts, pro-life, pro-gun, and anti-illegal alien.
