Arizona Libertarians Conduct Primary Online
|
Arizona Libertarians Save State Tax Payers $1,000,000.00
The Arizona Libertarian Presidential Preference Primary Election will take place from January 30th through February 5th, 2008. It will be conducted online using Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) with candidate information links. RCV allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, better reflecting voter intent. The winning nominee must receive a majority of the vote not a plurality. All registered Libertarians are encouraged to study the candidates positions and participate. Voting instructions will be posted online prior to the election at http://www.lpelection.com
The Arizona Libertarian Party (AZLP) has statewide ballot status as a major political party. By statute, the AZLP was invited by the state to participate in the Presidential Preference Primary Election in which party members cast votes which are non enforceable upon the convention delegates. The AZLP decided to save Arizona taxpayers from this expense and hold the election as an internal party function. Independents who can't vote in a partisan primary should not be forced to subsidize an internal beauty contest.

Barry Hess For Governor of Arizona 2006
|
Barry Hess, vice-chair of the Arizona Libertarian Party, has announced that he will formally declare his candidacy for Governor at the Arizona State Capitol on Friday, February 24th at 10:00 AM, but it will not be under the Republican label as had been hoped by many of the Republican party faithful.
Hess said he had intended to declare his intention to run in November of 2005, but out of respect for the many Republicans who have organized support groups and pledged contributions for this effort, he delayed his final announcement as long as he could.

Arizona Libertarian Party v Arizona State University and Commission on Presidential Debates
|
Below is the detailed report of the proceedings in the court case, Arizona Libertarian Party v Arizona State University and Commission on Presidential Debates, that was decided by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge F. Pendleton Gaines III today. The long and the short is that while the judge decided the case on procedural grounds in terms of not granting the injunction, he acknowleged that the case has suffcient merit to proceed to the damages phase. Note that the damages would accrue to the Arizona taxpayers, not to the Arizona Libertarian Party.
Tucson attorney and Libertarian activist David Euchner, who argued the case for the AZLP, received help from Libertarian activists and attorneys from all over the country in the preparation for the case, including Marc Stevens, David Marhoffer, Manny Klausner, Mark Rutherford, Ed Kahn, John Wilde, Liz Andreasen, Craig Stritar and Michael Kielsky to name only a few. Many more across the country contributed time in serving process, researching case law, and much more. There is much more to be said, but the case is not yet over, so more will have to wait until later.

Libertarian Write-in & Listed Candidates for the Primary Election

Several Libertarian candidates REALLY REALLY NEED YOU to write in their names in the primary election.
Depending on the district and office, a certain number of write-in votes are NECESSARY for the candidate to get into the ballot for the general election in November. If these candidates won't get onto the ballot they don't get the chance to spread the Libertarian message through the media. PLEASE, PLEASE use your absentee ballot or go to your polling place on September 7 and write in these Libertarian candidates.

Gun Show Registration Drive
|
The Maricopa County Libertarian Party was able to secure a voter registration table at Phoenix's Crossroads of the West Gun Show. This is the largest gun show in Arizona with 15,000+ attendees.
While we have rented tables at previous shows, this was our first complimentary table. Better yet, we were located right at the main entrance next to the GOA and NRA.
