The following is a press release from the Libertarian Party of Nebraska:
Lincoln, NE - June 25, 2008 - Jerry Kosch, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Nebraska, received official notification from the Secretary of State's office today that the Party's candidates will be on the ballot come November. By gathering nearly 10,000 signatures from registered voters, the LPNE has successfully added the Libertarian Party and Libertarian Presidential candidate Bob Barr to the ballot in the Cornhusker state. Nebraska becomes the 30th state to grant access to Libertarian candidates and also makes it possible to change one's party affiliation to Libertarian.
Michael Compton, Vice-Chairman of the LPNE commented, "Nebraskans are known for their rugged-individualism while at the same time maintaining close community ties. This is Libertarianism at its core."
Compton went on to say, "...during the petition drive we heard from thousands of voters that were not happy with the current slate of business-as-usual candidates offered by the two entrenched parties. Many, many Nebraskans are not interested in making a "lesser-of-two-evils" choice between McCain and Obama. We are extremely happy to give them a real choice this election cycle."
Kosch echoed these statements and added, "...although it is a challenge to get our message out, we believe that our message of smaller government, lower taxes, and more freedom will resonate with a wide variety of Nebraska voters."
The Libertarian Party, established in 1971, is America's third-largest political party. It believes in a smaller, decentralized government where power is not concentrated in Washington D.C. but instead, returned to the local level. Additionally, the Libertarian Party believes strongly in personal freedoms of property, privacy, and civil liberties.
