Polk County Libertarian Party

09/10/2017

Because of the election laws written by Democrat and Republican politicians in Little Rock, a political party whose candidate for governor or president must receive three percent of the vote or the party must gather ten thousand signatures and be re-certified as a new political party for the next election. Time and again we have had to endure this expensive process. Because of this requirement, anyone wishing to vote for our candidates in the nomination phase of the election must join the party by applying and paying dues of ten dollars a year. In other words, Libertarian supporters have to pay to vote, and they have to attend our convention to cast their vote rather than go to their local polling place. That limits public participation and the pool of perspective nominees. We are, by nature, far from an elitist party, but we are forced, by operation of law, to appear that way.

Trump withdrew America from the Paris Agreement. Was this a good or bad move? Thoughts...

The time is upon us to begin the cycle of regaining ballot access. March 26th, 2017 is the first day of the LPAR Ballot Access petition drive. We will have 90 days to collect 10,000 signatures. I would like to organize a team of volunteers in Polk County to collect as many signatures as possible in the time allowed by law. If anyone is interested, please leave a comment below. Thank you. Bobbi Hicks.

I want to thank the nearly 1300 people who voted for me in the congressional election. I would like to see a really active Libertarian Party affiliate in my hometown. I hope some of you will step up and make that happen.

Has anyone else noticed an absolute lack of polls leading up to the election? I find it unusual that none of the parties seem intrested in knowing how people are planning on voting in federal and state elections throughout Arkansas. Any volunteers out there care to help us conduct some form of poll to find out 1.) If people even know the names of the federal and state candidates running for office in their district, and 2.) Who they are voting for. Also, anyone with any ideas on the best method of polling people your input would be greatly appreciated.

This shouldn't be news to anyone. You would think the Libertarian Party would see this as our golden opportunity. It should light a fire under our ass.

The unfavorable ratings are the highest in the history of the poll asking the question, dating back to 1984.
