Happy February, readers! As part of our mission to promote awareness and mature discussions of third parties and independent candidates, Independent Political Report hosts a monthly open thread. Readers may use this thread to share news and stories about third parties and independent candidates not found elsewhere. The Independent Political Report editorial team, in addition, kindly asks that readers remember our Civility Policy. Readers may find a complete list of policies in the website’s footer.

    It looks like another party is advertising for candidates up & down the ballot.

    “The LNC-recognized libertarian group in Massachusetts has proposed to its members, to be voted on at their March State convention, that the group should be renamed United Libertarians of Massachusetts, or MAUL for short, and leave the LAMA for the LNC non-recognized group.” – they’ve filed their PAC under that name (ULM) so there really isn’t a need to continue pretending that they are LAMA. It is a step in the right direction – 10 or so activists wanted to be the LNC affiliate, and they formed a new organization to do so. Their membership should support it.

    The FEC filing for January is up on the FEC.gov web site.But that is not the report you are looking for.

    Is the LNC not going to post its Feburary treasurer report? The last one came out January 11th. If they miss this will be the first time in how many years?
