"The problem with the current system is that the bar is set at 1,000 signatures for the Republocrats, and 10,000 for anyone else."

In what state? It's equal for all. They don't have different signature amounts for different parties.

"That's why(infinitesimal portion of the population) the Liberteens will never be winners"

Winners?!! Is it most important to be a winner?

Are right & wrong, for you, the outcomes of popularity contests?

Must one be part of a large herd to be a winner?

Bill Clinton was a winner. What, of him, would you emulate?

[GVnana]

the people who actually write the laws have no such motives. All they want is to assure that the laws help them get re-elected."

Harry is right. And John McCain should be forever ashamed for his part in this.

"An independent candidate for U.S. Senate must collect 36,051 petition signatures to qualify for the general election ballot. Major party nominees (usually incumbents) must submit only 1000." - http://thekeel.home.att.net/flier92front.htm
