Robert Butler, Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Texas, visited Abilene on December 8 and spoke to local members of the 9/12 Project group.
Butler’s visit was covered by the Abilene Reporter-News.
According to the article, “Butler said the state Libertarian Party, thanks to growing disenchantment with the nation’s two major political parties, has raised more funds. It expects to see its membership grow and to have more candidates on the ballot in 2010.”
Mik,
Tell them you are planning on doing a massive voter registration drive and order all the forms they have already printed. 🙂
BTW, are you doing any ballot acces for 2010 given that national did not appropriate anything for PA?
In the past six months in Pennsylvania, voter registration for Dems is down 0.7% and Reps is down 1.1%. Those registering without political affiliation is up 2.2% and those registering Libertarian is up 2.3%.
The numbers may seem small, but that is a significant shift. The political machines are noticeably weaker. I think it would help us if we could get the PA Department of State to quit using their old printed voter registration forms and use ones that include the Libertarian Party as an option on the form, as we are now a recognized political party.
