Calling All Volunteers!

The Libertarian Party has a slate of excellent candidates who will be on the ballot in November.

President - Gary Johnson
Vice President - Jim Gray
Indiana Governor - Rupert Boneham
Lt. Governor - Brad Klopfenstein
US Senate - Andy Horning
US Representative, District 5 - Chard Reid

One of our top objectives is to staff every polling place in Hamilton County with volunteers passing out palm cards and encouraging voters to vote for these superb candidates. The preference is to have people staff their home precinct polling place.

Get in touch with Mike Kole to get involved! Email: mikekole (a) comcast.net

We also have events upcoming such as the 4-H Fair, and the Atlanta Festival, which we will staff. We'll go door-to-door, host meet-n-greets, and engage in countless other ways to boost our candidates. Let's come together for liberty!

Libertarian Party of Indiana's Weekly Podcast

Just to toot my own horn a bit, I have been producing the Libertarian Party of Indiana's Weekly Podcast beginning in late January, and there are already 15 podcasts posted, mainly because while nominally weekly, there has been much of interest to talk about.

Here's the link to the podcast archive.

You can subscribe to the podcast on the archive page, and have each new episode downloaded whenever you open iTunes or other MP3 file programs.

The idea behind the podcast is to talk with the stars of the LPIN. For now, that means recent and past candidates, party leaders such as State Chair Todd Singer or various county chairs, and libertarian activists. As we get nearer to the 2010 elections, interviews will increasingly feature candidates for the 2010 ballot.

So far, I've spoken with 2008 candidate for governor Andy Horning, LPIN Executive Director Chris Spangle, Hagerstown Judge Susan Bell, Indianapolis City-County Councilor Ed Coleman, IU Southern economist and Congressional candidate Dr. Eric Schansberg, and many more. I'm proud of the work. Check it out!

Vote Libertarian!

While Hamilton County is among Indiana's most prosperous, these declining economic times are a matter of grave concern. If you think government hasn't been doing right by you or by your country, now is the time to cast a vote for real change. After all, this mess has been brought to us largely by the Republicans, but no thanks also to the Democrats.

Wanted justice for the bad actors in the financial crisis? You got bailouts that punish us and reward the same bad actors, and their bad decisions instead
Wanted smaller government? You didn't get it.
Wanted lower taxes? You got shell games.
Wanted an end to an over-reaching foreign policy? It still over-reaches.
Wanted greater civil liberties? You're joking, right?

The best way to vote pro-liberty is to cast a straight ticket vote for the Libertarian Party. Do this by pushing the button opposite the Libertarian Party name, in the third position from the top, on the first page.

Here are the Libertarian Party candidates on the ballot in Hamilton County:

President - Bob Barr
Vice President - Wayne A. Root
Governor - Andy Horning
Lieutenant Governor - Lisa Kelly
Indiana Senate, District 30 - Steve Keltner

This is no time for the argument about the Wasted Vote Syndrome. If you want socialism, don't waste your vote. Vote McCain or Obama. The only difference is the speed by which you get socialism- tomorrow or next week. If you favor capitalism, individualism, and justice, vote for Bob Barr and his fellow Libertarian candidates, because these are the only ones who will do everything to deliver.

Andy Horning's Platform

Our Libertarian candidate for Indiana governor has a unique platform- The Indiana Constitution. 

Andy's assertion is that, just like our US Constitution is ignored in the making of laws by the Congress, our state's Constitution is likewise ignored by our state legislature. Where does the governor come into play? The governor signs, or refuses to sign, bills into law. Andy Horning would not sign unconstitutional bills into law.

For more, check out this link to Andy's blog, where he has commented on the entire Indiana Constitution.
