Florida Liberty!

"The Libertarian Party has a well-organized, nationwide organization. This year, 1,000 Libertarian candidates will run for public office. Currently, 180 of them hold elected local or state positions.

The Libertarians have a well-reasoned political philosophy based on free-market economics, individual liberty and military restraint. Their opponents like to brand them as radicals, and the characterization is accurate to a certain extent. Their philosophical foundation is derived from the ideas of people like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, whose radical thinking created the United States." - Editorial, Sun-Sentinel (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), September 6, 1996

"In recent third-party history, none has had more elected officials across the country or more consistently qualified for the ballot than the Libertarian Party. . . . More than 180 Libertarians hold local or state elective office throughout the country, and it has 1,000 candidates running for office this year. At the grassroots level, these numbers offer evidence that the Libertarian Party has performed as well or better than any political organization denied the exposure and tax money available to the two major parties. Mr. Browne refused to accept any of the taxpayer's money [to fund his campaign] on principle, earning his support the old fashioned way - by offering compelling ideas. Maybe that's the best reason for including Mr. Browne in the debates: to blow some fresh air through the stale smog of statism that passes for political discourse between the major parties." - Orange County (CA) Register, August 29, 1996
